On His Design Philosophy
“I select my ideas very carefully. A concept must give me great motivation –if not, I put it to rest. A lot of my initial ideas include an abstract vision of the expression and personality that the product should communicate. Translating this into physical form is my favorite part of the design process.”
On Scandinavian Design
“The new epoch in Scandinavian design illustrates a new time, a new world, and new influences—an important evolution of our design heritage. I am proud to be part of it.”
Created as the latest member of Muuto’s iconic Dots Series by Norwegian designer Lars Tornøe, the Dots Ceramic bring an artful expression to the design through a new, modern material. The Dots Ceramic are crafted with a reactive glaze for a unique and sophisticated look, giving each piece a distinct appearance, making for an artful expression and refined touch while echoing the ideas of traditional, fine craftsmanship. Use the Dots Ceramic as hooks in any room of the house for an elegant statement.
