BIRGITTE DUE MADSEN
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Artist and designer, Birgitte Due Madsen, is living and working in Copenhagen. Her portfolio ranges from handmade custom and serial furniture to sculptures and unique pieces. With a constant awareness and humility toward functionality and quality her professional integrity lies in the fascination of the elongated project which examines elements such as materiality and aesthetics and which allows the project to develop in abstract form before it is formalized.
BIOGRAPHY
After graduating from the The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Art, school of Design, Birgitte established her own studio engaging in different collaborations. She has received multiple grants and honorary prizes and continuingly participated in international exhibitions and fairs such as Salone del Mobile, Milano, IM Cologne, Cologne and Maison et Objet, Paris.
BIRGITTE DUE MADSEN | Continuum
CONTINUUM TILES demonstrate that there is an intuitive movement for any coherent structure. Any given unit can be infinitely divided through a mathematical methodology. For me it is important to work with systematics or a strong methodology. One cannot define mechanisms of beauty without a content or a structure. This is directly translated by the title and a natural progression of my former work being an infinite division of elements or a gradual transition from one movement to another.
My idea is to create several different forms where everyone is related and responds to one another. The geometry is extruded into sculptural form by repeated investigations of interrelated concave and convex shapes coming into proportion from different angles exposed by light and shadow.
