Troels Flensted
Troels Flensted (1987) is educated from Central Saint Martins in London. After graduating in 2014 he moved back to his native Denmark and founded his design studio in January 2015.
Flensted’s experimental studio is exploring the potential within material behaviour, colours and manufacturing processes, and finds inspiration in the aesthetic and undiscovered possibilities deriving from combining the three. His work is often minimalistic in its shape, allowing the materials’ own characteristics to shine. This approach has led to exiting projects and commissions for both privates and companies.
Flensted’s work has been exhibited at some of the most respected design fairs across Europe, including; 100% design, designjunction, northmodern, Eindhoven Design Week, Stockholm Design Week and Maison & Objet Paris where he was awarded the ‘Talent á la Carte’ Award. -
SARA GUNN
Sara Gunn is a London-based jewellery designer and finalist for New Designer of the Year in the 2015 UK Jewellery Awards. Sara graduated from the Sir John Cass School of Art and Design in 2012 with first-class honours and has worked from her studio at Cockpit Arts in Holborn since winning the 2013 Cockpit Arts/Clear Insurance Award.
Inspired by everything around her; from urban landscapes and the less glamorous side of city life to organic forms and the cells that make us who we are, Sara combines textured leather and metal to create tactile pieces that are at once gritty and sensual. She draws inspiration for her current collections from microscopic details within the body and London’s urban landscape. The texture characteristic of her jewellery is created through acid etching and embossing, using hand drawn and photographic images.
Each piece of jewellery is individually hand made by Sara. It is also possible to order colour variations or commission a unique piece.
