BJARKE BISGAARD YOLAL

The combination of Japanese and Scandinavian design (also known as Japandi) often results in hyper-controlled, minimalist silhouettes. In the case of Danish artist and designer Bjarke Bisgaard Yolal, the founder of Atelier Solitude, blending these two cultural influences instead offers an avenue to organic, dynamic movement in his stoneware sculptural pieces.

Everyday objects such as vases, bowls, and mugs take on an otherworldly quality under Bisgaard’s touch, resulting in textured undulating items that add a sense of tactility to a space. The objects hit the balance between minimalist and eye-catching, with an inherent quality of embraced imperfection.

All of Bjarke’s pieces are handmade in his Copenhagen studio, with special attention paid to the step-by-step process from wet clay to final, fired object. Having a piece from Atelier Solitude on your table speaks to the hands that made it; the traces are always there, waiting to be explored.

For Ark Kollekt 03, he presents unique vases and a set of tea cups, made of stoneware.
