Sanna Völker
“I usually store ideas and cherish inspirations for some time until they mature and eventually emerge in a suitable product. These influences can include a touch on a surface, a beautiful curve, a funny anecdote, social change, user need, a meaningful word or a graceful movement.
I also find the human mind and behavior fascinating, and this is often a starting point for my designs. I believe that my products combine Scandinavian values and aesthetics with urban attitudes and contemporary lifestyles.”
Sanna Volker was born in Sweden and now lives, works and teaches product and furniture design in Barcelona, Spain. She designs objects and furniture, frequently drawing references from architecture and in particular the brutalist aesthetic, conveying a strong graphic quality and sense of permanence. Her work can be described as a search for equilibrium between rawness and refinement, harmony and intrigue.
