Light and ladder / Fint amerikansk

På en liten surferunde på nett, falt jeg pladask for formspråket til amerikanske Farrah Sit.

Denne amerikanske designeren hoppet i 2010 av jobben

som designer i kles- og interiørbransjen, 

for å vende tilbake til utgangspunktet: til kjærligheten til design,

til gode materialer og godt håndtverk, fremfor masseproduksjon.

Farrah lanserte sin først egne kolleksjon på New York gavemessen i 2013,

og har blitt vist blant annet på London designweek, New York Design Week.

Jeg tror det treffer meg pga det enkle formspråket, 

der form og funksjon får stå i fokus. 

Kanskje det kan betegnes som 

en blanding av skandinavisk uttrykk og japansk zen?

Denne  (under) står på ønskelista mi  -gjerne to :)

Meet Designer Farrah Sit
Farrah is the founder and designer of the brand and firm Light and ladder. With the ethos “own less and own well,” (which I applaud and stribe to live by) designer Farrah Sit focuses on creating strikingly simple objects that speak to their intended purpose - shapes and functionality in center.

A graduate of the Rhode Island School of Design, Sit spent years in the fashion industry, designing the tabletop collection for Calvin Klein, as well as luxury home decor collections for Vera Wang and Kim Seybert. As the marketplace trended toward producing more products more cheaply, Farrah realized she needed to get her hands dirty again and return to the heart of the design process.

Sit began doing everything from metal welding to hand carving wood and forging her own flatware. She found her niche, and has since teamed up with local artisans and manufacturers to produce everything carefully and precisely at home in New York. Beautiful, functional objects through fair, sustainable production - what's not to like? :)

A selection of Farrah’s designs have appeared in London Design Week, New York Design Week and American Design Club/Sight Unseen’s NoHo Next showcase. She launched her first collection at the 2013 New York Gift Fair.
