Rasmus Palmgren is a young Finnish designer who seeks new perspectives for everyday objects. He is dedicated to his responsibility to impede overconsumption by designing long-lasting and sustainable products. His motivation comes from looking at everyday designs and thinking up new ways to improve them through simple and carefully-considered solutions. He was trained as a cabinetmaker at Malmstens Linköping University in Stockholm, and has been working for Nikari and Claesson Koivisto Rune. He is currently finishing his master’s degree in furniture design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in Copenhagen.

Industrial Facility is a London-based studio founded by Sam Hecht and Kim Colin in 2002. Hecht and Colin work for industry in a way that improves everyday design, not by producing something different but rather something better.

They aim to design things that will last, be effective and give satisfaction often beyond what is called for by the product and the user.
They come from two slightly different backgrounds, Sam as a designer and Kim as an architect. They meet in an approach that reflects both a thoughtful consideration of form and a unique (seismographic?) understanding of contemporary life, creating beauty out of utility in the products and furniture they engage themselves in.
Industrial Facility is considered as one of the most progressive studios in furniture and product design and works with Muji, Herman Miller, Emeco, Mattiazzi, Epson and Wästberg.

Line Depping and Jakob Jørgensen are Danish designers whose work is guided by functional possibilities and requirements and driven by the desire to test and explore materials and structural principles. Their inspiration begins in the workshop, where they refine and experiment with forms, based on modelling and prototyping. In this creative process they often explore a principle of form or construction that intrigues and thus tests the capacities and textural qualities of materials. Their ultimate goal is always to create a simple and straightforward solution matching the usage situation and setting.
