Laura Bergsøe

Overview
Laura Bergsøe
“It is always surprising and magical to open a tree or plane a dirty plank and reveal what it contains: twists in the grain, maybe from growing in a windy place; holes; knots. Everything that makes a piece of wood unique, and that you would normally cut off, is the heart of the tree, telling its history.”

Bergsøe’s sculptural works masterly combine the natural and the precious, bearing witness to the heritage of both Art Nouveau and Art Deco with their ornamental naturalism and noble materials and techniques. Her intention is to pass on her material understanding and enjoyment of wood through a high degree of tactility and craftsmanship, and to create a sense of wonder and responsibility towards the planet and its resources.  Each piece is unique and holds a Signature Spike, a pure silver spike, placed into the side of the piece, which can be removed to reveal its story and origin.
