Svalbard consists of a group of islands in the Arctic Ocean, covering an area of roughly 23,000 square miles, of which 60% is covered with glaciers. It is the northernmost part of Norway, located midway between mainland Norway and the North Pole. Discovered by the Dutch explorer Willem Barentsz in 1596, the islands soon became a haven for whalers. In the early 190Os, mining became a major industry, and, more recently, several arctic research stations have been set up on the islands.

How do you work? Well, I am a stonemason, so it's very physical. It's dirty and hard. A bit like war and peace actually! With my work in stone, it's all about taking away material, about reducing and freeing something that's inside the stone. So I used to always have pre-conceived concepts about what I wanted to do, I am beginning to change this, though. With my painting and when I work in clay, I let it just grow. Because that's not there yet, the way something in stone is. It's more about looking for something that doesn't exist.
If you weren't an artist then what would you be? There was never another option, really. Most kids draw when they're little, I just never stopped. I started at age 2. Then my parents weren't very supportive and they kept saying "You can't do this." And so it ...

You are one of the first designers to use digital manufacturing. How has that affected the design world? There's a lot of benefits from this type of design, such as no storage and no transportation since everything's on a CD. Imagine you download an image of this glass, for instance, from the internet, and then you just produce it. You won't have to go to China and buy 12,000 glasses and ship them back home and sell only 6,000 and store the rest. See what I mean? The problem is that people are a bit slow to respond. Our entire planet is wired to a Henry Ford way of producing things, and it will take time to change that concept. But I know that what we're doing is something that's going to change the design world the way digital photography changed the world of photography or MP3 players...
