INSPIRATION


AW 20/21 Sculptural
By Lotta Agaton

"This season is all about detoxing. We are detoxing our minds as well as our homes, and we re-evaluate the objects we live with, giving each item space to breathe. We pay more attention to quality, and look for the sculptural and organic, shapes that inspire us – in art, graphics, craft, fashion and architecture. We see the small details in our lives and our homes and cherish them.

After a year of uncertainty, our homes have become more sacred to us. They are our shelters. We re-evaluate everything around us; where we live, the function of the room where we socialise and the furniture and objects we have picked for it. We also re-evaluate how we spend our time; where and with who, and for what purpose. Our new relationship to time is reflected in all our choices. It’s not about being quick or slow, but about taking and appreciating the time needed. We are happy to save up for the things we want to live with, and we are happy to wait for them to be produced."
