Kitchen Collection with a South American touch in a Scandinavian design was Thursday named winner of the Formland Design Award.

The season’s most striking design news comes from Georg Jensen. It was unveiled Thursday morning at the opening of Formland Autumn 2011 in the MCH Exhibition Centre Herning. Here ,the Danish design company, was handed Formland Design Award for ALFREDO collection, with different products for the kitchen and dining table, created by Argentine Alfredo Häberli. The Dutch designer Piet Hein Eek was in charge of the ceremony.

- It’s a convincing winner of the Formland Design Award. Alfredo Häberli has managed to capture the Scandinavian design style and also added new. Georg Jensen is known for steel, and ALFREDO collection will be adding new materials such as porcelain, glass, wood and rubber. The collection’s various parts are beautiful together through form, the functionality is good and it is design to the table you can afford, says the jury in their justification of the winner.

ALFREDO collection is named after the designer and was launched in spring 2011 with a salt and pepper set, a towel rack, a decanter, a pitcher and salad bowls. This autumn’s collection has expanded with oil & vinegar in glass, an oak holder for salt and pepper or oil / vinegar – and a series of containers in glass, oak and stainless steel.

Besides ALFREDO collection was RIG-TIG decanter cleaner from Stelton and the multi functional kitchen tool “Funnel Friends” from Element+ nominated for Formland Design Award.

The launch of Höganäsgruppen, a brand of hand-made high-quality Swedish ceramic objects with a contemporary and fresh design, marks the beginning of a new era for Swedish ceramic design.  Where other leading brands have chosen to place all production in low-salary countries far away, Höganäsgruppen opted for the opposite strategy. All production is local and the pay-off is ”MADE IN SWEDEN”.

-       The city of Höganäs in Sweden used to be synonymous with pottery but today all the local brands have been purchased by internationals with production in the Far East and ”Made in Sweden” has become a thing of the past. With Höganäsgruppen we hope to gather the local vast manufacturing knowledge and experience of working with stoneware and once again offer beautifully designed and locally produced ceramic objects, said Catherine Djurklou, Head Designer at Höganäsgruppen.

Höganäsgruppen is a group consisting of nine artists and potters that have designed objects and series under the brand HÖGANÄSGRUPPEN. These exclusive and high-quality products have all been made by hand in local Swedish workshops in limited editions.

-       The artists and potters that have contributed to our first collection all have their own unique expressions which is precisely the way we want it to be. Höganäsgruppen is all about offering things of beauty that cater to individual tastes, the common denominators being highest possible quality and local manufacture, said Catherine Djurklou.

Designer Søren Rose says, “The furniture collection we have created for De La Espada evolved out of our Park Avenue project in New York that began in 2008. All of the pieces are designed for real people and the result is a very dramatic collection that combines the best of the Scandinavian tradition with a New York contemporary touch.” The collection exhibits the true craftsmanship while exploring new material combinations including cork, marble, aluminum, brass, fabric and natural wood. Using solid, beautiful materials, the collection is simple in nature yet obsessive in detail, resulting in long-lasting timeless pieces that offer a fresh take on modern living.
