Josefin Zachrisson är född och uppvuxen i Söderhamn. 

Efter fyra års konst- och designstudier tog hon 2019 examen från Beckmans Designhögskola och är idag verksam som konstnär och designer med Stockholm som bas. 

Hon beskriver sin praktik som ett tredimensionellt språk i gränslandet mellan konst och design. 

Med sitt formspråk vill hon kommunicera känslor, tankar och idéer. Hennes arbetssätt är konceptuellt, experimentellt och emotionellt och tar hänsyn till såväl intryck som användande. Utöver sitt individuella arbete ingår Josefin också i konst- och designkollektivet Swedish Girls.

Mess

Functional glassware

A state of mind translated into glass

Mess is a series of glassware created through a mixture of feelings. Every object is unique and made in Småland, Sweden. The process of making ‘Mess’ is intuitive and requires at least two experienced glass blowers apart from myself. The glass blowers who I made this first edition together with has been working with glass for 45 years.

With Mess I want to examine how material can make you feel, making you want to physically feel it but also encourages you to reflect on feelings through observation.

No(n)sense

Functional sculptures in aluminum

In this project I have studied three-dimensional design in a digital and physical context. In the borderland in between I have sought to find a method and an approach that will enable me and my intuitive and material-focused process to function. A method that brings new ways for designers to work and that can also create a new approach to design.

No(n)sense is a concept, a process and multiple feelings in varying dimensions.

The physical result is a tray and a chair in sand-casted aluminum, designed trough an animated and virtual process focusing on physical material. The concept is about what you feel when you interact and don’t interact with form, material and resistance.

Seats

Seats is a sculptural, multi-seated piece of furniture, with a backrest reimagined as additional seating.

The comfort level is adapted to shorter periods of sitting in a public environment.

The modular construction opens up for the possibility of different types of usage.

It is a piece of furniture that inspires the flow of a space.
