New Works presents a collection at the intersection between old and new. Light and dark. Design and art.
Their work pays homage to the strong Scandinavian history of craftsmanship and materiality, whilst challenging the contemporary forms of today. By collaborating with an international group of renowned designers and artists, who display a matching fascination with sculptural forms and honest materials, New Works is able to convey their love of the sensual, and of the bold.
Since its founding in 2015, under the vision of Creative Director Knut Benedik Humlevik, the Copenhagen based design house has transported these same values from a range of experimental lighting and accessories into larger scale releases.
The company believes in respecting the natural qualities of materials as both an inspiration, and as a guide when creating the collection. Honoring the individual qualities that each material contributes - from the strength of marble, to the warmth of oak. They collaborate with artists and designers that share an obsession with detail, and who strive to discover new forms, materials, and textures in the world around them.
Design is to be touched and held, to encircle you, whether through dappled light or a warm embrace. To best represent the materials and techniques used to create our objects, New Works believes it is vital to retain their original roughness. The true statement of character that comes from within. A fusion of traditions and experiments allow their pieces to push the boundaries of material and form. Challenging the perceptions of craft, whilst retaining the touch of the craftsman through to each final object.
Haute Living is proud to represent New Works as an authorized dealer for Chicago and beyond.
