Artists |
Modern Shapes Editions represents the creations of a carefully curated, yet diverse, selection of artists from around the globe, all with different skillsets and backgrounds. Some are still making their first career waves, whilst others are solidly established internationally. |
All of the artists share a passion for handcrafting a range of natural or manmade materials, which naturally lend themselves to transformation into solid wooden editions. |
