At Sami Kallio Studio, man and machine both play a leading role in creating new objects. The design process typically starts by crafting full-scale models in the studio workshop. In the product traditional craftsmanship and hypermodern industrial simplicity meet with quirky details giving the finished objects a particular character. The characteristic details emerge through unexpected meetings of materials and traditional craftsmanship techniques such as plywood moulding and woodturning. Sami Kallio Studio was founded in Gothenburg Sweden by Finnish master carpenter and designer (MFA) Sami Kallio in 2011. The studio has created furniture pieces for &Tradition, Fredericia, Gemla, and Northern among others.

Objects On The Table! The projects showcased in the exhibition revolve around a transformative shift in scale and materials. The transition from furniture to smaller-scale objects has presented a captivating journey for the artist/designer. Through the exploration of diverse materials beyond traditional wood, the creative horizons have broadened, revealing an array of fresh design prospects. This endeavor has been regarded as an opportunity to enhance and refine the designer's expertise. The exhibited collection features a curated selection of works crafted from silver, porcelain, cast iron, and wood.

Gabriella Mozo’s inspiration stems from a diverse apparel design background, honed through more than a decade of experience in both New York and LA. This creative journey led to a transition into the realm of product and furniture design, prompted by a move to Milan in 2022, where she is now based. Through a deep curiosity and exploration of potential waste materials, the designer has developed an alternative 'concrete' incorporating post–industrial wool remnants from textile and rug brands like Manteco and cc—tapis. The resulting material balances the rigidity of a porous stone with a uniquely soft and hairy tactility.
