Statement

n my creative practice, I am North Sun, an artist and designer who love daily objects and nature. Surrounded by the beauty of everyday objects, I find inspiration in the simplicity of our environment. My work in interior and furniture design is a manifestation of my belief that these elements are more than functional; they are integral extensions of ourselves, our identities, and our well-being. Through my designs, I aim to blur the lines between nature and artifice, infusing emotional connectivity into spaces. By integrating the natural world into furniture, I seek to create harmonious environments that resonate with individuals on an intimate level. I believe that each piece crafted is not merely an object but a conduit for emotional connection and personal expression, fostering a sense of belonging and tranquility within the spaces they inhabit.
