ARK KOLLEKT #14
ARK KOLLEKT AT DESIGN / DIALOGUE 2025
CURATED BY PERNILLE VEST
For the fourteenth collection, Pernille Vest has curated a selection of visually compelling and deeply harmonious objects. Each piece, whether a vessel, a sculpture, utensil, or light fixture, carries a unique material presence and from language - together they create a unified artistic narrative.
“What connects these objects is a shared sculptural sensibility. They all balance simplicity with complexity, rawness with refinement. Whether crafted from wood, clay, glass, or stone, they celebrate the tactile qualities of their materials. I am particularly drawn to the organic shapes, the soft curves, and the hand-crafted textures that evoke a sense of timelessness and quiet strength.
Displaying them together creates a poetic dialogue. The roughness of a carved spoon contrasts beautifully with the smooth surface of a ceramic form; the structured elegance of a glass goblet is offset by the soft asymmetry of a sculpture. These juxtapositions highlight both the individuality of each object and the collective rhythm they create.
To me, this group of objects represents not just functionality or design, but an artistic approach to everyday form. They are sculptural, emotional, and atmospheric.”
