IT ALL STARTED IN 2024
Emilie has a master's degree in IT project management and had not worked professionally with art or design. Waves did not arise from a plan, but from a curiosity and a need to create something with her hands.
"Even though my background did not point towards me working professionally with art and design, it felt like a completely natural step. My gut feeling has been my most important compass, especially when big decisions had to be made. It has never been about following a fixed plan, but about feeling where curiosity and desire led us.
I don't need to know how I should do things. I'm perfectly fine with not having a design background. It gives me the freedom to create based on intuition and feeling, to let the materials, colors, and processes develop naturally and become what they want to be."

Bagom Waves
FRA NYSGERRIGHED TIL HÅNDVÆRK
"Waves.STUDIO opstod i 2024 ud af en nysgerrighed efter at skabe noget der var anderledes. Med en baggrund inden for IT-projektledelse var vejen ind i design og kunst ikke planlagt. Den begyndte som en undersøgelse af materialer, former og håndværk - drevet af lysten til at lære, eksperimentere og skabe noget med hænderne.
I dag designer og håndlaver jeg skulpturelle vaser, lamper og kunstobjekter, hvor funktion møder kunstnerisk form. Jeg er særligt optaget af hvordan et objekt kan tilføre et rum nærvær og vække nysgerrighed."

From idea to reality
THE BEGINNING OF WAVES
"It wasn't an easy path to arrive at the first design. We had to go through 50+ prototypes before mastering the curing time, color, and shapes of each. All the artworks are created by hand, and therefore we can never be completely sure how they will look in the end. But that's also the whole point."

BIOBASERET RESIN
DEN KREATIVE PROCESS
"Min ambition er at skabe objekter, der får folk til at stoppe op og vækker en nysgerrighed til at udforske hver detalje. Jeg er naturligt tiltrukket af materialer, der udfordrer forventningerne, og derfor begyndte jeg at eksperimentere med biobaseret resin.
Det, der fascinerer mig mest, er dets evne til at virke både delikat og stærk. Det kan formes og bøjes på måder, der ville være umulige med glas eller keramik. Jeg bruger næsten ingen energi i skabelsesprocessen, og der er stort set intet spild - modsat traditionelle forarbejdningsmetoder."
