Taking inspiration from the fashion industry where she got her start, Britt Bonnesen brings a unique perspective to the world of design. Before embarking on her career in interior and product design, Bonnesen was a familiar face in the fashion industry where she spent the first decade of her work life. One look at Bonnesen’s designs and you can see fashion’s subtle influence in her work.
Take for instance Bonnesen’s Brick Cushions for well known design house Normann Copenhagen. No where has fashion’s ideas of colour blocking been put to better use in home design. A blocked palette of shades and pairings of warm and cool tones just right for your modern home. Bonnesen’s bold, graphic style, as Bonnesen notes, â€I like that the pieces of material used in the cushion are of various shapes, colors and structures as it gives the cushions a dynamic look that is reminiscent of patchwork, jigsaw puzzles and games such as Tetris.â€
Like the best fashion designers, Britt Bonnesen’s creations feel on-trend and fresh but offer a style that is lasting and classic enough to stay the course long after more fleeting trends have cone and gone. Normann Copenhagen has captured some of the best designs from both emerging new designers and established brand and Britt Bonnesen has been one of their finest collaborators.
