Helle Mardahl Studio
Cover image missing

Helle Mardahl Studio operates at the intersection of art and functionality to create a dreamy universe of richly coloured glass designs of eccentric deviance. A graduate of London’s Central Saint Martins, Helle Mardahl is an artist and designer whose work is marked by a sense of lavishness and extravagance combined with a sense of flamboyance. As a designer, Helle Mardahl is concerned with the beauty of contrasts. Her richly coloured glass designs are alive and natural, fragile yet robust, simple yet ornate.

This year’s installation by Helle Mardahl breathes life into heritage and legacy, weaving together connection, memory, and meaning through meticulously crafted objects—each one a playful nod to the past and a wink to the present. Through material, form and craftsmanship, the installation captures the essence of affection, history, and humour—a colourful conversation between tradition and transformation, embracing both nostalgia and the unexpected. It is Helle’s very first installation in the new store— where history meets whimsy, and where glass never takes itself too seriously.

MANU builds object-to-human relationships. Their objects are all ‘characters’ to live alongside — not bought and sold, but adopted. Working across waste streams, the material becomes both the starting point and the guide, allowing its limitations to shape the design of each object. They craft objects from PET bottles, lemon peels, or sand — depending on what’s available around them. MANU believes this philosophy can help us rediscover the value of finite raw materials, encouraging more respect and care for the objects we live with.

Buneē reimagines the relationship between architecture, materiality, and everyday objects. Rooted in space, nature, and form, it crafts functional designs in marble, ceramics, wood, and textiles, emphasising natural textures and finishes. Simple, clean forms and geometric structures highlight both material and function. Imperfection is embraced in hand–crafted pieces, made by small–batch artisans using traditional techniques with a low environmental impact. More than just objects, Buneē represents a way of living—prioritising mindful consumption, where each piece serves more than one function. Sustainability is approached with longevity in mind, valuing craftsmanship over trends and creating objects that solve more with less.
