Wooden Figures

Cristina Morozzi

by

The Danish artsit Lucie Kaas has produced a collection of miniature wooden sculptures. Taking inspiration from the restylized animal figures of Gunnar Flørning and Th. Skjøde Knudsen, created in the 50’s, Lucie expanded her series with miniature, painted wooden figures resembling modern famous figures from the fashion world. She imagined them as a sort of perfect object for fashion addicts, looking to place her fashion designer figures within the traditional canon of fairy tale creatures or historic personalities. Choosing to use unusual subjects highlights the iconic value of the designers, and reveals how rapidly they can become things of worship.

The Moodboarders is a glance into the design world, which, in all of its facets, captures the extraordinary even within the routine. It is a measure of the times. It is an antenna sensitive enough to pick-up on budding trends, emerging talents and neglected aesthetics. Instead of essays, we use brief tales to tune into the rhythm of our world. We travelled for a year without stopping, and seeing as the memory of this journey has not faded, we have chosen to edit a printed copy. We eliminated anything episodic, ephemeral or fading, maintaining a variety of articles that flow, without losing the element of surprise, the events caught taking place, and the creations having just bloomed.
