In their practice Pettersen & Hein explore what happens when art operates out of a function parameter and design is a mere sculptural presence in a room. They continuously ask themselves what happens when design is no longer comprised by function, but longs for the aesthetic and ethical freedom of art? And whether those fields can emerge in a poetic and innovative fashion? Contrast and friction are fundamental elements in our practice, where we combine a shared enthusiasm for industrial materials, with a predilection for concrete, and an intuitive love for imperfections.
