Aves
SMALL BIRDS,
BIG THOUGHTS
Aves is
created by Swedish architect and artist Co Derr. Co Derr was very keen on
finding the essentials of the motive bird, and throughout his career he tried
to simplify the shape of Aves until he reached a form, that could be perceived
as the essence of a bird. In that way Aves stands as a testimony of the eternal
essential shapes that lie behind timeless designs. Aves comes in three
different sizes and they differ from one another. This accentuates the
statement that there is something unique in the general.
