Jonas Edvard — Designer

Through my research I am never trying to generalize a material, but instead testing its composition in order to create a new view or perspective of a material’s possibilities.

About:

With respect, devotion and admiration of nature, Jonas Edvard investigates the complex relationship between raw material and human life. With an experimental approach to the design process, he creates experiments which lead to new design materials and objects, made from local or organic raw materials. His work is often rooted in a circular and sustainable approach, designing not only for the function of man, but also for the relevance of nature. By using a living organism to shape the design process, Edvard wants to investigate our role in a co-species production of design and materials and the underlying question of our relationship with nature as a symbioses. Edvard’s work is characterized by a research into the development of a new design materials. And repositioning the material into a functional shape, while continuously discussing the implementation and use of designed objects and how we as humans understand the value and aesthetics of natural origins.
