Artecnica is a Los Angeles based design company that collaborates with the most
established and emerging international designers to create inspiring decorative
objects for the living environment.
Alongside such talented designers as Tord Boontje, Hella Jongerius and the Campana brothers, we continue to explore vibrant, colorful ways of expressing compelling ideas and bringing delight and discovery to everyday design.
This season Artecnica introduces six new additions that continue our exploration of
transforming and innovating through light and color. The new collection debuts work
by Tord Bootnje, Stephen Johnson, Karl Zahn, Tahmineh Javanbakht and Enrico
Bressan.
Artecnica is committed to considering issues of environmental sustainability and
responsible manufacturing. Products are often made with recycled materials and

Artecnica had invited talented designers of international fame to contribute
new ideas to an ever expanding design
collection and to team them with artisans
in need around the world, invigorating
commerce and assisting surrounding
communities.
The mission is to promote self-sustaining
communities of talented artisans in
underdeveloped countries. The model is
simple: the value of artisan-made goods
has always been appreciated. But with
the globalization of trade, village artisans
have become divorced from their traditional markets, insulating them from the
potential demand for their craft.

Our objective is to avoid the mechanization of the artisan, which devalues his
work and undermines the project from
both a design and an economic standpoint. In accomplishing these goals they
try to avoid the assembly line production, exploitation of third world labor,
and displacement of workers that often
result from monopoly-oriented marketing
organizations with global reach.

and browns. As designer Clara von Zweigbergk was inspired by the geometric design of polyedra, “the shapes quickly came together as a mobile. I think of them as
planets and like to see the colors change while gently turning.” The stark contrast of
the vibrantly colored planes creates a dramatic visual effect, yet as they slowly turn,
suspended in the air by a delicate frame and thin wires, the effect is quietly striking,
fragile, and ethereally beautiful.

Each candleholder features darling
objects and characters balancing atop
one another that appears to defy all laws
of the physical and ideal. Each style is
cast in solid aluminum metal and is handcarved with individual craftsmanship and
skill, providing a solid structure to the
seemingly teetering design. The Wonderland collection continues to charm
and invite all to Johnson’s sentimental
“impressions and memories of something
somewhere.”

Throughout his work, Tord Boontje
explores juxtapositions of the old
and new, naturalism and technology.
Born in the Netherlands in 1968,
he studied industrial design at the
Eindhoven Design Academy before
enrolling at the Royal College of
Art in London. The launch of Tord’s
Wednesday Collection marks an
evolution in Tord’s work.
Dutch artist Paula Arntzen, born in
1980, is currently working in Arnhem
where she has her own design
studio. Arntzen studied traditional
furniture making at HMC in Amsterdam before she studied Product
Design at ArtEZ Academy of the Arts
in Arnhem.
Founded in 2007, Rich Brilliant Willing is an internationally recognized,
Manhattan-based design studio.
Theo Richardson, Charles Brill & Alex
Williams are Rich Brilliant Willing.
Each member has a different point of
view; one explicitly loves materiality, another has an unconventional
color palette and eye for sculptural form, the third is an inventor
bringing spontaneity and theatrical
energy to the work. Rich Brilliant
Willing was named among the “Top
40” designers by I.D. magazine in
January 2009, and named an “Avant
Guardian” by Surface magazine in
November of the same year.
Emma Woffenden works as an artist
producing sculpture and installations. She has a special interest
in glass making and has curated
exhibitions, lectured and acted as
an educational examiner in this area.
Emma is represented by Barrett
Marsden gallery London. She earned
an MA in ceramics and glass at
Royal College of Art. London.
Dutch designer Hella Jongerius (born
1963) combines craft techniques
with modern technology to create
objects that are strikingly new and
provocative. Jongerius’ range is
diverse and broadly derived. Her
designs typically employ a mélange
of media such as ceramics, steel,
plastic, felt, and precious metals.
The resulting designs emphasize
simple forms, rich textures, and
materials that often retain traces of
their origin and purpose.
Stephen Johnson explores less
obvious facets of design. His work
centers largely on how design can
exist for the cognitive, as well as our
more commonly perceived physical
needs. Through a love of ornamentation and kitsch he considers design

humour and nostalgia. Johnson lives
and works in London.
Tord Boontje is also Head of the
Product Design Dept. at the Royal

teaches graduate courses.

a material. After constant study and
observation she managed to obtain
a deep knowledge and understanding of the material and its unique
characteristics. This is a procedure
through which the designer decides
not only on the form and shape but
also the elements that will determine
and lead to a multi-function object
creation. A creation that will serve
both a decorative and a functional
item that can be used in a space or
event.

Since 1983, Fernando and Humberto Campana have achieved
worldwide recognition through their
work in design. Ordinary materials
are transformed and reinvented into
priceless objects that carry both
creativity and the spirit of Brazil – a
combination of chaos and solution. The Campana Brothers are
constantly investigating new design
possibilities. The exchange of information creates bridges and dialogue
between communities factories, and
industries which is a constant source
of inspiration. Estudio Campana
designs are part of the permanent
collections of MoMA New York, the
Centre Georges Pompidou in Paris,
and the Vitra Design Museum in Weil
am Rhein, Germany.
Born in Stockholm 1970, von
Zweigbergk studied illustration and
graphic design in Sweden, France
and USA. She culminated her
studies at the Art Center College
of Design in Pasadena, after which
she worked as a graphic designer
for several advertising agencies and
designers in Stockholm. In 1997 she
founded Rivieran Design Studio, with
two partners, as a multi-disciplinary
agency spawning many successful
collaborations with fashion, illustration, architecture, furniture, product
and graphic design. Rivieran quickly
gained the eye of the press for its
unique structure and interior space.
She has designed and illustrated
several books, among the “A Collection of Tickets” by Carouschka which
has become a cult item in Japan.
After four years as a graphic designer at Lissoni Associati in Milano,

Karl Zahn studied Industrial Design
at the Rhode Island School of
Design with an emphasis on manufacturing and fabrication. Studying
in Denmark in 2002 supported
his love of handcraft and his style
bears a danish modern sensibility.
His work deals with materiality and
explores the practical and emotional
relationship we have with products in
this increasingly complicated world
driven by technology and fraught
with environmental guilt.

Stephen Burks is one of the most
recognized American industrial
designers of his generation. He and
his New York Studio, Readymade
Projects, have been responsible for
creative design direction on projects
ranging from retail interiors and
event to packaging, lighting, furniture
and home accessories. He has
developed innovative concepts for
renowned international brands and
has consistently been at the forefront
as an African-American industrial
designer. Exhibitions included the
