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.
