Peter Qvist, the architect and utopian who found passion in furniture shaping and craftsmanship. All pieces generated inside Peter's head without any use of artificial intelligence.
The furniture by Peter Qvist are like independent works, each expressing their own distinctive identity, - beautifully fusing Scandinavian simplicity and Neo-futurism. Some furniture pieces appear sophisticated in their design expression, while other pieces appear with a clear simplicity. Ranging from abstract sculptural to more stylish functional pieces.
In the early years of his career, Peter focused on architectural projects and innovative ventures within the energy sector. While some of his bold, often eccentric concepts remained as ideas, several of his architectural works have been brought to life, reflecting his unique approach to design.
As time went on, two factors began to limit Peter's ability to fully express his design vision and maintain an active presence throughout his projects. The first was the natural constraints imposed by financial limits, building regulations, and other practical considerations, which often restricted the scope of his architectural ideas. The second was the reality of his day-to-day work. Most of his time was spent behind a desk, with the creative design process accounting for only 10% of his efforts, while the remaining 90% was consumed by administration, meetings, and logistics.
Peter began to miss the creative space and physical involvement where design in theory is combined with practical execution on a daily basis.
With the years of architectural work and experience in designing and knowhow within craftsmanship, it began to make more and more sense for Peter to focus on furniture. In this field he could return to freedom, free mind and action in the manner he liked it. And somehow, this approach together with his aesthetic style is reflected in the range of furniture represented today.
