After presenting the critically acclaimed solo project Drawn to Production with Carwan Gallery during Milan Design Week in 2017, Knutson presents a new solo show at the gallery with works created in the past five years — including new objects inspired by the local context of Piraeus and created specially for the exhibition. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEntitled\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAssembly\u003c\/strong\u003e, the exhibition explores the freehand, improvisatory approach that is part of Knutson’s practice, which is often driven by the pure joy of putting things together without planning or designing anything in advance. Each object he creates is unique and results from a process led by experimentation and an intuitive use of tools, to create archetypal forms that, in the designer’s own words, display different “gradients of functionality”. Abstract wood columns thus coexist in his work with playfully stacked shelves, hand-moulded forms, cast-metal seats and geometric sculptures.\u003c\/p\u003e","products":[{"product_id":"wood-shelf-tower-n-2","title":"WOOD SHELF TOWER N.2","description":"\u003cp\u003eAlm wood - Unique Piece\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Carwan gallery","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48142812315806,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"HKD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0788\/9951\/1454\/files\/original.jpg_48998_2000x1415_11201015-4801-471e-99b5-0ce90410255c.jpg?v=1786800531"},{"product_id":"wood-clay-table","title":"WOOD CLAY TABLE","description":"\u003cp\u003eSigve Knutson developed this project to explore how a designer might work if the qualities of drawing, without waning one’s original intuitions, were applied to the various phases of production.
