Collection: MEDICINE STUDIO

MEDICINE IS A MANIFESTATION OF A PARTICULAR FEELING, ONE THAT AROUSES WONDER, CURIOSITY, AND JOY.
HAVING SPENT HER CHILDHOOD IN ASIA, NINA REMEMBERS HER FIRST ENCOUNTERS WITH ART AND BEAUTY IN THE SCENES OF EVERYDAY LIFE: AMONG THE SILK DRESSES OF KOREAN WOMEN, IN THE CAREFUL PRESENTATION OF MEALS, ON THE BEACH AMONG SCATTERED SHELLS WAITING TO BE COLLECTED AND DISPLAYED ON A BEDSIDE TABLE. AT HOME, EUROPEAN OBJECTS COEXISTED IN STRANGE HARMONY WITH EXOTIC PIECES HER PARENTS HAD COLLECTED.

THE FUSION OF HER EUROPEAN ROOTS WITH THE INFLUENCES OF HER UPBRINGING IN INDIA, MALAYSIA, AND KOREA FORMS THE FOUNDATION OF HER MEDICINE AND DESIGN PRACTICE.
INSPIRED BY THE NATURAL WORLD AND TRADITIONAL CRAFTSMANSHIP, NINA INFUSES HER CREATIONS AND INTERIORS WITH A CAPTIVATING BLEND OF CULTURAL HERITAGE, JUXTAPOSITION, AND ARTISTIC FLAIR — ALWAYS GUIDED BY A CENTRAL QUESTION:
WHAT MAKES AN OBJECT DESIRABLE? WHAT MAKES YOU WANT TO HOLD IT — EITHER IN YOUR HAND OR IN YOUR MIND?

IN ADDITION TO HER THOUGHTFUL CURATION OF ANTIQUES, NINA DESIGNS HER OWN LINE OF ARTISANAL OBJECTS, COLLABORATING CLOSELY WITH SKILLED CRAFTSPEOPLE IN BRONZE, SILVER, AND GLASS, USING HISTORICAL AND TRADITIONAL TECHNIQUES.

BASED IN PRAGUE BUT OFTEN RESIDING IN SOUTHERN SWEDEN WITH HER HUSBAND, A SWEDISH ARTIST AND COMPOSER, THEIR SON, AND THEIR PLAYFUL FRENCH BULLDOG.
