Nikolai Kotlarczyk is an Australian designer, based in Copenhagen, Denmark, since 2013. Graduating from the Queensland College of Arts, in Brisbane, his experience in Australia was strongly influenced by his time with renowned design and manufacturing house, Tait. His studio focuses on design pieces, full of narrative. A strong connection with geography, history, materiality and rituals can be seen within his pieces. Working within a self-expressed decorative minimalist style, Nikolai’s work aims to simplify the act of story-telling, through an honest pallet of materials and bold forms. His work includes self-initiated edition pieces and design pieces for manufactures and has been shown in several international exhibitions, including in Milan, Paris, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Melbourne. He is a member of studio and workshop, Hal 4, in Nordhavn and he regularly contributes to Australian online publication, Yellowtrace. He was also a co-founder of the culture-house in Copenhagen's inner north, Øen and has worked in various roles for design companies, including Pulpo and New Works.

Bench II by Donatas Zukauskas
By Donatas Žukauskas
Located in Geneve, CH
Bench II by Kasanai Dimensions: D 85 x W 32 x H 43 cm. Materials: Oak, cement, recycled paper, glue, paint. 7 kg. The visual inspiration for the bench is a combination of natural wood and concrete. These two opposite materials combined, create a unique character of the product that has the coldness of concrete and the coziness of wood. The tabletop is made of natural oak, and the base of the table, resembling concrete in appearance, is made by pouring solid mass. The set task was technologically challenging - it was necessary to fuse wet mass and moisture-sensitive wood. The entire structure of the table is manufactured at the same time, so that the two materials join together smoothly and precisely to avoid any gaps. After the product dries, it is scrubbed, and the tabletop is oiled. The black concrete-like material is the result of various experiments. It is a mixture of several components: an eco-friendly of cement, recycled paper, glue, and paint. Dried it becomes as strong as wood, it resembles concrete but is slightly elastic, so it does not split or crumble.The result is a natural texture and strength that ensures durability.
