talents and traditions
applicata’s entire collection is based on the idea of creating “a special gift for a special occasion”. To that end, we have allied ourselves with exciting design talents. We have brought exclusive materials into play, we’ve ensured everything is produced in Scandinavia.
a special gift for a special occasion
local production We have actively decided that all applicata items should be produced as locally as possible. Reflecting this, everything we make is manufactured at family-owned workshops in Scandinavia – mainly in Denmark.

AMANDA LILHOLT Danish designer Amanda Lilholt has created the Circle Collection: glow, fragrance, balance and solid. The Circle Collection is made of solid brass that has been left untreated with no varnish or coating. The idea is that each piece should be allowed to age and patinate naturally, making them even more beautiful over time.
“It was important to me that the Circle Collection was created in collaboration with a brand that takes local production, attention to detail and sheer materiality seriously.” 8

“With inspiration from the sun and its geometrical shape I created the Circle Collection” - Amanda Lilholt

The Circle Collection was originally introduced in solid brass with inspiration from the sun and its glow. The browned variant, however, brings the moon’s subdued lighting to mind – with its tasteful interplay of light and shadow.

Browned Circle Collection by Amanda Lilholt

16
browned circle collection The browned collection has an expression that is both graphic and austere, but still exudes warmth in its dark brown glow. The idea is that the series ages naturally, thereby retaining an interesting, multi-toned interplay of colours that is understated yet elegant across generations.
17
Here in Scandinavia we spend many months of the year plunged into darkness, and the series was designed to provide light and “hygge” during that time.
18
The Circle collection draws inspiration from the sun and its tightly geometric circle shape. Every element shares the same geometrical point of departure, but the series as a whole encompasses very different modes of expressions, designs and functions that complement each other. The common denominator is the material, brass, which emits a warm glow when touched by light, which is also a reference to the sun.

a tribute to wood

PERNILLE SNEDKER Artist Pernille Snedker has created the entire A Tribute to Wood Collection. As an artist, she wants to challange the way we see and experience surfaces - and she works to transform interior objects into small works of art where she colors wood and work with marbeling techniques.
Inspired by natural phenomenons and traditional craft techniques, artist Pernille Snedker transforms interiors into immersive artworks. 28
We have worked intensively with finding our real core – our main raison d’être. We have made a lot of deliberate choices aimed at a sustainable future. And we have been very selective in our choice of design collaborations and when curating our designs. Very importantly, we have made strong decisions about producing locally and about optimising our packaging, so that the consumer will not only want to keep the product itself, but the box it came in too. We aim to make things that last – hopefully for generations.

STUDIO FEM Sarah Cramer and Anders Engholm from Studio FEM has created the mush Collection. With references to classic oil lamps, mush candleholders add a warm touch and fill the room with cosiness. A modern piece in exclusive materials and beautiful, delicate colors.
“The philosophy of Studio FEM is based on interactions between the designers, their diversity and mixed competences and the thought of design being seen as well as felt. Therefore, the balancing act between functionality and aesthetics is the main focus when we design.” 42

“The slender lines of Blossom were inspired by candlesticks from the 1950s and 1960s, which were often made out of spare wood left over when the woodturner had finished his chair and table legs. Here, I have also drawn inspiration from the crisp outlines of budding flowers. The colour palette is very wide indeed, ranging from delicate pastels and neutral hues to bright, contemporary colours.” - Anders Nørgaard

Produktsalon Designer Susanne Uerlings is a graduate of the Coburg University of Applied Sciences. She is the creative mind behind the Produktsalon design studio, where she brings her innovative approach to integrating functionality into beautiful design products that can last for generations.
RoundNRound was created with inspiration from the classic Swedish wooden Christmas candleholders - spiced up with elements from the traditional candlestick and its carrying handle. Designer Susanne Uerlings has created a minimalist and organic candleholder composed of two round elements, with a bubbly and welcoming exterior that creates atmosphere anywhere. Whether you’re in the mood for beautiful coloured candles or a tealight’s glow. And thanks to the small, spherical handle, it can easily be moved from room to room.
