Simo Heikkila
My furniture design is an ongoing experimental process whereby a unique and an industrial product compete. Sometimes the interval between the two may be infinitely short. Yet in the appropriate context, even the results of spontaneous experimentation may gain mainstream popularity then, the experiment has succeeded in opening eyes and enlightening the mind.’
‘Furniture design is a slow process, which in the case of the individual designer, evolves in small steps. Part of the process involves the so-called laboratory work not taken into production as such, yet which retains the details of life, a structural idea or a visual concept. My work is dominated by a curiosity centered on the dialogue between material and structure.’
