Description

The ‘Shape’ collection is a series of objects created over the course of two years. They have no common theme or inspiration. An element loosely connecting this set of furniture is a characteristic process of creation, radically different from the way Anna Bera has worked so far. The Whole Elements studio’s previous collections, such as ‘Fossil’ or ‘ESW’, were inspired by objects from nature and preceded by an in-depth analysis of such forms as stones, mushrooms and fossils. This time, each of the objects has a completely different genesis. They share the abstract name ‘Shape’ which does not mean anything.

The ‘Shape N.2’ chair was designed, so to say, at leisure. The artist, frustrated and disappointed with failures in her work on another object, began to play freely with the form in 3D software. That was how, in just a few moments, the design of the chair from the ‘Shape’ collection was created. Obviously, after the moment of enlightenment, the project required remodelling and resolution of many technical problems; however, the object became a product of pure expression, having no initial assumptions nor resulting from any specific reflection or inspiration. Its general form is an outcome of frustration and sheer joy at breaking free from limitation.

Despite its unusual proportions, „Shape N.2’ is a full-size usable chair. The object has been hand-crafted from glued alder wood.

About Anna Bera Visit Showroom →

Anna Bera (born 1985) is a sculptor and designer from Lechów in the Świętokrzyskie Mountains. She is a graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Poznań, a lecturer at the SWPS School of Form in Warsaw, a member of Nów. New Craft Poland, as well as a scholarship holder of the Minister of Culture and National Heritage. She runs her own studio in Warsaw, where she creates predominantly large-format sculptures and utilitarian objects made of wood. In her work, Bera focuses on the sensory perception of the materiality of the world. She searches for a particular way in which objects exist in relation to space and people, and often creates objects that are heavy and bulky or rich in detail and texture, thus almost provoking physical contact. The object’s function is sometimes merely an excuse for making it; the form disrupts the function and turns it into a means of artistic expression, just like shape or colour. Bera’s works have been exhibited in Poland, Europe, USA, and South-east Asia, including at the Austrian Cultural Forum in New York, the Lapidarium of the National Museum in Prague, the Ditchling Museum of Art + Craft in Ditchling, the Estonian Museum of Applied Art and Design in Tallinn, as well as at numerous festivals and fairs, including Milan Design Week, Wanted Design Manhattan, Collect Art Fair in London, and Stockholm Furniture and Light Fair.
