Love Hultén fuses traditional craftsmanship with modern technology, creating unique objects in an unexpected merge of form and function. By playing with preconceptions about art and design - the social, cultural and historical relations to objects we all share - he tears consensual connections apart and provides a new context. To present genuine and attractive alternatives to contemporary appliances, he adds unforeseen functionality, delicate execution and mystique. "I want my objects to create a state of curiosity – using references from both past and present, a blend much more interesting than just putting something on repeat. Nostalgia is involved to a certain extent, yes, but not by looking backwards. It's by taking steps in different directions simultaneously, creating unique and balanced objects." Hulten offers the buyer a genuine and personal experience, specializing in creating one-of-a-kind exclusive objects. Everything is produced, polished, and assembled by Hultén himself in Gothenburg, Sweden.
