COOEE Design Sculptures

COOEE Design is known for its contemporary take on minimalism, offering beautifully crafted objects that blend earthy colors and clean shapes. Founded by Swedish designers Catrine Åberg and Henrik Åberg, the brand has roots in a family renowned for its contributions to Scandinavian design, including the iconic paper bin found in Arne Jacobsen’s Room 606 at the SAS Hotel in Copenhagen. Initially, COOEE gained recognition in 2005 for its Plexiglas jewelry line, but over the years, the brand has expanded into ceramics and home décor, with its timeless vases and, more recently, striking sculptures.

COOEE Design sculptures are an exciting addition to the brand’s portfolio, showcasing a distinct blend of ancient inspiration and modern minimalism. Stockholm-based artist and designer Kristiina Engelin uses rough concrete in earthy tones to create pieces that feel both timeless and contemporary. Engelin, deeply influenced by art history, merges ancient anatomical forms with a modern aesthetic, allowing these pieces to resonate on both an emotional and visual level.

The collection balances COOEE’s signature minimalist style with the tactile nature of the sculptures’ rough material. Each piece invites the viewer to interpret its form, evoking emotions and stories tied to human experience. The COOEE X Kristiina Engelin sculptures reflect the harmony between Engelin’s raw, expressive designs and COOEE’s clean, understated aesthetic. Whether used as a statement piece in a living room or a subtle accent on a bookshelf, these sculptures enhance the atmosphere of any space, offering a tactile, organic contrast to the linear, digital world around us.

Eve II Sculpture

The Eve II sculpture is a celebration of the ancient feminine form, honoring the timeless beauty and strength of women. With its abstract yet recognizable shape, Eve II evokes the grace and power of the female figure through a modern lens. The rough concrete material gives the piece a natural, tactile quality, while the simplicity of its design ensures that it fits effortlessly into any contemporary interior. Whether displayed alone or as part of a curated vignette, Eve II stands as a powerful symbol of femininity and strength, echoing the forms of classical sculpture with a fresh, modern perspective.

Ollie Sculpture

The Ollie sculpture captures the softer elements of the human body, inviting attention no matter where it is placed. Collaborating with Kristiina Engelin, COOEE Design has created a piece that feels both ancient and modern, combining a rough concrete material with an earthy tone. The Cubist approach to Ollie’s silhouette gives the sculpture a sense of depth and complexity, allowing it to stand out as a focal point or blend seamlessly with other elements in a space. With its understated elegance and natural texture, Ollie is a versatile piece that adds warmth and interest to any room.

Sculptural Elegance for Modern Spaces

COOEE’s sculptural designs, like their vases and trays, are grounded in minimalist principles, yet they offer a raw, organic counterpoint to smooth, sleek surfaces. The choice of rough concrete as a primary material lends an earthy, tactile quality to the sculptures, making them perfect for adding texture to modern interiors. The balance between ancient anatomical forms and modern Cubist interpretations invites viewers to engage with the pieces in a personal way, drawing out emotions and sparking the imagination. Whether you're looking to create a serene focal point or add depth to a collection of curated objects, COOEE Design’s sculptures bring a unique blend of artistry, craftsmanship, and design philosophy to your home.
