“Form, patterns and structures in my objects draw inspiration from the stone sculpting, the rough natural material and the smooth finish of the crafted stone. I always aim at a sustainable luxury, where materials, craftmanship and production are the essential parts of the design and the process. When I work with the natural materials, like stone or wool, I feel like nature itself shows the way.” – explains Kaja.
“Kaja Dahl is working with concepts within the field of sculpture and design. She explores poetic and sensory experiences with focus on materials and their nature, marble, larvikite, clay and various natural materials. Her vision embraces a dynamic balance between the organic with the technologic. She has developed a new product theme “Perfume Sculptures”. By playing with our senses in simple but well elaborated way, she invites us to a complete dimension in her work that bridges between art, design and crafts.” – Gallery Sorgenfri 2019
