Anne Brandh\u00f8j<\/a> is a Danish artist and designer whose practice centers around sustainability. From sourcing and harvesting timber to drying, processing, and finishing each piece by hand, her distinct designs take form around the natural irregularities of each length of wood. Its grain, knots, splits, and coloration guide her decisions and remain as elements of the final work. Rather than imposing her creative ideas on the material, Brandh\u00f8j works with the chance variations offered by nature, allowing her to incorporate offcuts that might otherwise end up as waste. Their unique textures and patterning are highlighted, polished into delicate eddies and currents that reveal the innate beauty of the material, whether made from oakwood, walnut, Douglas fir, cherry, or beech. In addition to her playful functional objects, she creates large-scale sculptures whose undulating vertical forms reiterate abstract motifs as though materializing the movement of sound\u2014its waves, ripples, and echoes.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\u201cI die a little bit inside every time I see furniture with a smooth surface where you cannot see any structure, any knot, anything at all,\u201d says Brandh\u00f8j. \u201cIt\u2019s a shame when there is so much beauty in the wood to show.\u201d<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
Brandh\u00f8j received a bachelor\u2019s and master\u2019s degree in furniture design from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. She is a founding partner of Bly Studio, and currently serves as a professor of design at Kunsth\u00f8jskolen in Holb\u00e6k, Denmark. Brandh\u00f8j has exhibited throughout Denmark and internationally. In 2022, she was commissioned by Designmuseum Danmark to create a permanent sculptural installation for the museum, in collaboration with the Kay Bojesen Foundation.<\/div>\n
