Concept
In 2023, Side Gallery reached out Nifemi Ogunro in regards to working together. The designer’s pieces start with sketches that are comprised of lines, and from there, she defines their form to create furniture that doesn’t speak to the norm. Ogunro comments on her collaboration with Side Gallery: “I was curious what it would mean to play with both softness and boxiness while designing for this show. That tension excited me. Tension excites me. I wanted my objects to feel like they held weight visually but also soft enough to be inviting. I wanted to make a series of pieces that made sense apart but could create something special together.”
The designer fabricated her pieces by hand, which looked like bags of sawdust being produced, and a lot of bending. With this particular series, she obtains a truly refined aesthetic while handcrafting all of the wood parts.
The streets of NYC, as a hauling space, arrive at the gallery and become the home where she escapes. Ogunro’s immediate environment and experiences inform her work. The tight hallways and crowded subways are where she imagines forms, but how her body and skin move through and shift in those spaces, inspires the narratives behind her work. The fascinating human form on its own, the way it bends and folds in space, are all reference points for her work.

- Oliver Sundqvist and Frederik Nystrup Larsen Contemporary Colorful Chair, 2021By Oliver Sundqvist and Frederik Nystrup LarsenLocated in Barcelona, ESChair model "Private Parking" From the "Kiki Beach Club" series Contemporary Design Manufactured by Oliver Sundqvist and Frederik Nystrup Larsen Copenhagen (Denmark), 2021 Fiber glass, acrylic, lacquer Measurements: 70 cm x 45 cm x 71 H cm 27.55 in × 17.71 in × 27.95 H in Edition Unique piece The creative duo of Frederik Nystrup-Larsen (b.1992 Copenhagen) and Oliver Sundqvist (b.1991 Copenhagen) has proven to be a partnership that continuously questions the current state of contemporary art. Working on the boundary of art and design, the pair have reinterpreted the processes of consumerism, illustrating critique on overconsumption and poor manufacturing. Intellectually and physically dependent on regular variation and change'Mater’, (meaning mother in Latin), the first collective project between Oliver and Frederik, was a vase originally created as a Christmas present for their mother. The vase was used for the interiors of Norma, a Copenhagen restaurant that is often referred to as the best restaurant in the world. Since ‘Mater’, the duo have continued focusing on creating unique and collectible objects, with a central focus on longevity. The pair seek to ignite a feeling of responsibility in people, through the creations of thoughtful and sustainable pieces. A lot of their work questions the surrounding world, inspired by characters who challenge established understandings of and structures within this world, the duo look towards multiple disciplines to fuel their creativity. Equally as original as their final products, is their method. Triggered by beauty and decay, their creative process is split into phases, - initially, they spend a lot of time reflecting, not stressing about it. Being slow, taking actions that do not related to the project or practice. The following phase; the physical execution of the idea, is built on intuition and (often an unhealthy) tempo. Stress is welcome as we work like machines, brains left aside. The designers split their time between Copenhagen and London and have exhibited at Art Basel, as well as at two solo shows before they had even finished school. The pair are currently working as NIKO JUNE...Category
