As Amy Hunting says herself, she tries to combine her work as an illustrator and her furniture designs in the best possible way. The result is her 'Patchwork Collection'. A successful composition of art and design.
Amy Hunting is a young Norwegian designer who has recently graduated from Denmark's School of Design in Copenhagen and now works in London. She is best known for her work as an illustrator. Among other places her unmistakably naive, slightly overdrawn figures appear on art posters, on magazine covers and even on skateboards.
As she says herself, she tries to combine her work as an illustrator and her furniture designs in the best possible way. Her 'Patchwork' series, which was put together from bits of waste wood collected from factories in Denmark, makes just as striking an impression as her illustrations, because thanks to its individual composition each element becomes a one-off product, in spite of its industrial nature. A successful composition of art and design.
