When you think of Danish Design you may think of pure, tranquil designs. But that is only one side of the story, because Scandinavian designers are also often looking for freedom; In thinking, doing and form. This is reflected in the Frihed watch collection from Danish Design.
Surprising shapes
For the latest watches in the Frihed collection from Danish Design, the designers took their inspiration from art. This has resulted in surprising new types of watches. As we have come to expect from Scandinavian designers, the master shows himself in the limitations. Striking shapes have been created with minimal resources that give each watch its own character.
Art as inspiration
The Tilt is inspired by the painting Victory Boogie Woogie by Piet Mondriaan. This square painting is special because it is placed in a special corner. The painting remains so fascinating to look at. The Tilt watch case is also placed at a different angle, creating an optical illusion that makes the watch ‘pleasantly crazy’.
The ‘D’ draws inspiration from the Cobra movement, of which the Danish painters Asger Jorn and Carl-Henning Pedersen were part. The D-shape is a nod to the D for Dare, Dynamics, and of course Danish Design.
Miró, famous for his paintings and sculptures with abstract shapes that seem to playfully float within the composition, was the inspiration for the Ellipse. By placing the watch case diagonally on the straight line of the strap, the watch appears to detach from your wrist.
Dare to be different
The designers also looked to modern art for the color palette of these new Frided watches. A palette of primary colors was chosen. Remarkable? Certainly! The Tilt, D and Ellipse are therefore intended for free thinkers who dare to be different and express that; Dare to be different.
