Designer Eva Sjödin on MYNDIG: "The irregular shapes of the plates and bowls in the MYNDIG series are inspired by origami, or paper folding. When I was designing the series, I started by folding paper into a variety of different shapes, expressions and functions. Pleats and folds then became the basis for MYNDIG, a series that I think radiates both sharpness and softness - and that I hope retains the feeling of lightness present in the paper models."
