OS-SOLO reviewed by Tine Frellesen

OS-SOLO – meaning "Us Solo" – is a community of 20 Danish artists and designers exhibiting their handmade products ranging from ceramics, jewelry, woodcraft, photography, prints, paintings, embroidery and textiles.

Designers Tanja Oppermann and Jan DP Jørgensen took the initiative to make this creative community so that artists and designers would have a place to show and sell their products and reach a larger audience. Also it is a platform for members to collaborate and develop new ideas, projects and products.The shop has a great variety of contemporary Danish art and design, with a fine selection of ceramics – examples are the geometric and colourful works by Michala Hoffmann: 

And the beautiful minimalist forms by Tanja and Jan.

OsSolo exhibit artists working in different media, such as Sidsel Ludvigsen's witty embroidered pieces above or the delicate wooden cases by Brags and Galmez. 

The shop has a creative and inspiring atmosphere and prizes range from 10 – 300 pounds. It is important for OS-SOLO to have affordable pieces, even when the pieces are handcrafted. OS-SOLO aims to build an exciting, contemporary and affordable brand.
