COLLECTIBLE: What tips would you give to a collector who wishes to start collecting contemporary design?

Laura Bilde: The most important thing is to be aware of how the design makes you feel and consider if this is a feeling you would like to be reminded of.

C: What do you think collectible design brings compared to other more massively produced pieces?

LB: Working with limited editions creates more opportunities in experimental materials, abstract constructions and innovative thinking. All things that makes an object quite unique and authentic. I think we all would like to have this at some point.

C: An interior designer you dream to work with?

LB: I would love to work with Halleroed. I always get inspired by their way of balancing material combinations, contrasting elements and designed details in their projects. It’s iconic and timeless at the same time.
