Welcome to my Portfolio. My name is Agathe Thomassen and this is a selection of my work during my time at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, School of Design, Internship and Freelance projects. I work in a field between Fashion, Art, and Graphic Design, and I enjoy creating clean and simple designs. My sketching process is often very wide, complex, colourful and full of various expressions, but the beauty comes when I am able to throw away some great ideas, and end up with one good story. The simple details become clear, when I dare to “kill some darlings”.
I am inspired by contrasts and when something is out of context. I like to explore new compositions and experience the dynamic process when turning things “upside down”. My goal is to create useful and functional designs, and find a good balance between a conceptual and commercial approach. Enjoy!

Glasur ”Glaze” ; glazed conscience. MA Project / 2013 / The Royal Danish Academy of
Fine Arts, School of Design
”We over-consume and hide our destructive behaviour behind decorated facades.”
G
lasur ”Glaze”, is a project based upon a sustainable thought. The collection is not sustainable itself, but comments on our role as consumers, and reflects on the environmental consequences of our over-consumption. Glaze is nauseating sweet and in this collection
it covers a guilty conscience. The polar ice is dissolving and melting away, while we live our sugary life. We over-consume and hide our destructive behaviour behind decorated facades. The thick surface appears stiff and awkward and reveals the reality we are trying to sweep under the rug. 11

A
s the title indicates, the project is not a wooden object; ”Un” wooden = ”The lack of / No longer - wood” . Unlike the intention of ’Faux Bois’, I have created a modern and simple interpretation of the curves and layer formations of wood. The lines and the structure are interesting because they indicate a history and symbolize the passage of time. The layers are formed 34
over several years, creating a feeling of warmth and calm in today’s fast paced life. Bringing the wood into our homes and lives, creates a ”grounded” feeling and comfort. The colours and the fabric are soft and neutral, and serve as a frame and canvas. A simple and timeless silhouette; like a ”board” carved from wood.

Rever deNuages Project / 2014
T
his is a small project based upon a buildup of Mood, and a small selection of the sketching process; an idea for the next concept of a collection. The Spring/Summer 2015 Collection ‘Dreaming of CLOUDS’ is inspired by a surreal aesthetic universe. The collection is feminine and classic with a subtle tone of quirkiness, inspired by the Belgian surrealist René Magritte, who was fascinated by the strange, curious, and intense feeling when something appears out of context 58
or hidden from the viewer. René Magritte revolved around the mystery of the ordinary and the idea of surface and reality. He believed that we only view the surface and not the truth. Through his artwork he examined the human nature of always wanting to see what is hidden. The collection is inspired by the clean and collage-like aesthetic of his paintings; Clear outlines and a peculiar composition of normal objects. By bringing the ordinary out of context, it becomes interesting.

”...an expression of sexuality and a strong attitude.”
D
uring Copenhagen Fashion Week AW 2009, I was selected to represent the Academy at ‘Designers Nest’. I presented this project, inspired by a journey through the product archive of Georg Jensen, where the Art-Nouveau style became the starting point of the project. The Colours are simply
black and white, with an accent blue, like the old brooches found in the archive. The collection is feminine with a casual luxurious feel, focused on volume versus tight silhouettes, and an expression of sexuality and a strong attitude.
