MONICA FÖRSTER

Monica Förster’s journey looks a long one. From Lappland to Milan. From cultural wilds to the sophisticated epicentre of the modern world. This book explores Förster’s universe. On her bedside table lie copies of Vogue Italia alongside books on prime numbers and cosmology, and it is by her clashing of such opposites, by thinking the strikingly unexpected, that tricky tasks win their simple solutions. The outcome – some of the most trendsetting products in recent Scandinavian design. The book further traces her development from youthful rebel, anti-designer almost, protesting against anything to do with proportion and composition and proving it by kneading together silicon and fibreglass and all those other materials that Scandinavian designers traditionally reject. The journey leads us ultimately to the respected position she holds today, commissioned by some of the world’s leading producers and applauded for her creative sensibility.
