Sharon Fisher & Matteo Barenghi
Creates timeless pieces with a great focus on quality
Interior architect and designer Sharon Fisher and architect Matteo Barenghi started their Danish-Italian collaboration across borders in 2008. Since then, the two architects and designers have created timeless pieces with a great focus on quality. The focal points of the design duo are the search for natural simplicity and the fascination of good materials and
skilled craftsmanship. The Tsugi Shelf for Carl Hansen & Son was designed with equal focus on form and function. The apparently simple shelf exploits the principles of the ingenious and precise Japanese Sashimono carpentry, concealing the locking mechanism without visible transitions.
