SNS Presents Josefin Zachrisson

Every week, our current pop-up location in Stockholm turns into a place to meet (in a Covid-appropriate way), celebrate inspiring emerging artists, and ever-creative Josefin Zachrisson leads the way. The multi-talented designer balances her skills somewhere in-between art and design, and if you have seen her one-night-only exhibition for SNS, you know that "next level" describes it quite well. Mixing steel elements to form unique sculptural furniture, interior installations, or glassware, the "hybrid" artist who is part of design collective Swedish Girls has recently graduated from Beckman's College of Design in Stockholm. Fueled by emotions, thoughts, and concepts, Josefin's work process is as important as the final piece, which is easy to spot when you take a look behind the scenes like we did when we visited the Dezeen Award-nominated artist.

Check out the images and interview below.

Tell us about the collection ‘seats’ and the process behind getting it made to getting a nomination.

'Seats' is a series of sculptural, social and multifunctional pieces of furniture. It's a collection that inspires the flow of a space. Mira and I designed 'Seats Sofa' 2019 during our final year at Beckmans College of Design with the goal to question the furnishing of public spaces, we wanted to create a piece that shapes the room and not the other way around. We are now, a year later, independently producing the collection in Småland and considering the nomination we may be on to something that actually affects its surroundings.
