London-born, NYC-based designer made her grand debut in Milan this year with an installation at Rossana Orlandi. Having trained in visual communication at Central St. Martin’s and the Glasgow School of Art, Karlin’s work encompasses projects in print, art direction, fashion shows, interiors and set design. Her alchemic approach led to the launch of her Furniture + Fine Objects collection as well as Anna Karlin Fine Jewelry, driven by a strong belief that all creative disciplines contribute crucially to one another. The pieces selected for Milan Design Week were new additions to Karlin’s ongoing ‘Subverting Domestic Familiarity’ collection, which explores the relationship between natural forms and the precision of the man-made. “We have a fundamental need for familiarity or to be surrounded by natural forms,” says Karlin, “Where there is fragility, there is strength. Where there is disequilibrium, there is balance. Where there vulnerability, there is support. The works are a visual interpretation of these emotional paradigms that exist in our everyday lives.” New products debuted at Rossana Orlandi include Form, a totem-like, floor-to-ceiling lighting sculpture. Cast bronze, handblown glass and marble shapes, both abstract and geometrically precise, stretch along the height of Form, tailored to fit perfectly in any space. Also new is Puddle, two golden Maple burl tables that nest together, or can be moved individually to suit the space.
