Kasper Kjeldgaard — Designer and artist

“I find that the fundamental premises for the coherence of our physical world become a poetic reflection on what design is, and where the distinction between the abstract and functional lie.”

About:

The work of Aarhus based designer and artist Kasper Kjeldgaard spring forth from his ongoing explorations into the limits and capacities of techniques and materials. Tension between the hard and soft, fragile and robust, floating and grounded are translated through contrasting materials and delicate constellations. Wax and horsehair interact with solid brass and blown glass, illuminating our physical worlds connection to elements such as friction and gravity. Through his abstract compositions and objects, Kjeldgaard’s work encourages his audience to connect with the forces of nature that help create and shape us.
