Description

The ‘Shape’ collection is a series of objects created over the course of two years. They have no common theme or inspiration. Each of the objects has a completely different genesis. They share the abstract name ‘Shape’ which does not mean anything.

The design of the ‘Shape N.1’ screen is based on a small model made of plasticine by Mela, the artist’s six-year-old niece. The girl was playing with plasticine while the designer was creating her models. Anna got intrigued by the way Mela had produced her object. It was pure expression, with no hesitation, no intention, no justification or explanation. The artist has been working with children for a long time and is fascinated by their approach to creation: ‘Children are uncompromising (…) when creating, they rarely hesitate; they do not reflect or analyse. They don’t try, they just do.’ The designer decided she would not only produce an object based on her niece’s idea, but also try to adopt her method of creation. The screen was thus created without a design prepared beforehand. Anna was making all design decisions on an ongoing basis, working on the material right away. ‘Shape N.1’ is the result of a struggle, a record of numerous attempts, changes, corrections, hesitations; it is also an ‘exercise in the freedom of creation’.

The screen has been entirely hand-carved in 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.
