News from Navet

Discover the design studio’s new objects in recycled glas.

You are known for your nice tiles, but now we also glas cups Bubble and vases Vessel. Tell us how come you also work with the material glass and only recycled glass?
–We have for a couple of years collaborated with Glasbolaget in Bro, which produces the  “Bubble” and the vase “Vessel”. It started as a workshop to develop and be friends with our Clam Tray. We have long worked with glass in different ways and like the material because it is so dependent on the craft. Each cup and vase is unique and together we have experimented with colors and shapes. The glass is recycled Swedish quality glass (from other glassworks) and the oven runs on residual gases from a recycling station.

Tell us about Navet, who are you behind and how do you work together?
– Navet is owned and operated by Helena Svensson, Cecilia Wahlberg, Maria Johansson and Lina Huring. We are based in Stockholm and Milan and usually say that we are on
two legs; Objects and spaces. Objects do product and furniture design, production and design for other brands. Spaces on the other hand, then we work with interior design and concept development. Maria, Helena and Cecilia are based in Stockholm and Lina in Milan, we collaborate creatively in all projects but share the responsibility for other parts. Our products are manufactured in Sweden and Italy.

– We started working together in 2012 with the exhibition / event PARTY on Östermalm where we realized that we complemented each other creatively. We have a common expression which is “Navet” and which is very much about a clear design language with basic shapes and saturated colors. We like to experiment directly in production together with the craftsmen. We have fun together and challenge each other, take over each other’s ideas and build on them.
