{"title":"Mathias Steen Rasmussen","description":"Mathias Steen Rasmussen (born 1990) is a young Danish designer with a seasoned and rigorous approach to furniture design. He has a background in art and cabinetmaking and completed his apprenticeship in 2019 with the highest honors. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWhen working on his own designs, his philosophy is “honesty in construction”. This means keeping the design process open to what an object consists of and how it is constructed, often with an affinity for showcasing the naked grain of the wood and visible joints. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAs a trained cabinetmaker, wood is usually Rasmussen’s point of departure. He often brings in other natural materials such as glass, stone, and rope as textural contrasts, resulting in an aesthetic dialogue between colors, techniques, and surfaces. With an earnest respect for his materials and a keen sense of balance in form and function, his work respectfully nods to mid-century Danish design.","products":[{"product_id":"mr01-initial-chair","title":"MR01 Initial Chair","description":"\u003cp\u003e\u003cmeta charset=\"utf-8\"\u003eOriginally designed for his own home as a lounge chair he could also use for meditation, the MR01 Initial Chair by woodworker Mathias Steen Rasmussen unites traditional craftsmanship with original ideas in a simple form that is at once familiar and yet strikingly modern.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eFinished with a striking hand-woven roped seat and back, beautifully mirroring the repeated lines of the identical wooden cross bars, the resulting geometric shadows cast creating playful optical illusions.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA stunning showpiece, ideally utilised in a living room or bedroom space, the low-slung, gentle design promotes a contemplative sense of calm, almost like you're floating above the ground.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gubi","offers":[{"title":"Oak","offer_id":39322045087847,"sku":"14985_1","price":1799.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true},{"title":"American walnut","offer_id":39322045120615,"sku":"14985_2","price":1999.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0069\/2358\/3591\/products\/1d4657789e624eabe4dd5b9a427669e4_aa0f93d5-5614-4d7c-ad18-ccb3ae103db7.jpg?v=1708224471"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0069\/2358\/3591\/collections\/Mathias-Steen-Rasmussen.jpg?v=1619106498","url":"https:\/\/www.oakvero.live\/collections\/mathias-steen-rasmussen.oembed","provider":"Skandium","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
