NIKO JUNE AT OTHER CIRCLE
We’re thrilled to present our new exhibition SOMMERFUGL - a series of unique and upcycled chairs.
A collection of reimagined school chairs — lifted from classrooms, reworked in our
Copenhagen workshop, and given a new sense of self. Each one is unique. Each one
holds on to a past life while softly insisting on a future.
We didn’t want to start over. Only interfere. Just enough to alter their posture, shift theirweight, encourage a new gesture. We left traces behind on purpose — of scratched legs, chewed edges, crooked screws. Their history is a collaborator.
Sommerfugl is transformation through minimal removal and curious assembly. The name means butterfly — a nod to the delicate reshaping of something once rigid. It’s not nostalgia. It’s a slow flutter toward something else.
"Everything has been done, you can only do it better. Everything is a remix."
Hybridize or disappear, warns Oliver Laric in Versions (2012). We agree. Nothing is
entirely new — and that’s exactly where the freedom is.
A study in memory, material, and movement.
other circle is a new design exhibition launching from 18th to 20th June at The Lab in Copenhagen, coinciding with Copenhagen Design Week.
The exhibition provides a platform to explore and present post-diciplinary creative culture, addressing a growing need within the market to bring together disciplines that are often presented separately. In a carefully curated environment, other circle seeks to dissolve traditional boundaries between design, art, music, food, and fashion, and capture a moment and energy in contemporary creative culture
