Médecine

Médecine is a manifestation of a particular feeling, the kind inducing a sense of wonder, curiosity and joy.

Spending her childhood years in Asia, Nina recalls her first confrontation with art and things of beauty among the everyday sceneries - among Korean women’s silk dresses, in the meticulous dance-like presentation of meals, on the beach among the scattered shells waiting to be picked and then displayed on the bedside table, but also in her home where European objects coexisted in strange euphony with the exotic pieces her parents collected. The merging of her European roots with influences from her upbringing in India, Malaysia, Korea are the foundations behind Médecine and her design practice. With admiration for both the natural world and craftsmanship, Nina infuses her designs and interiors with a captivating mix of cultural heritage, juxtapositions and artistic flair, always compelled by the question: what makes an object wanted to be held ..either in hand or in desire..

Apart from her careful curation of antiques Nina designs her own line of artisan-made objects, working closely with the skilled craftsmen in bronze, silver and glass using historical and time-honored techniques.

Based in Prague, but residing often in southern Sweden with her husband a Swedish artist and composer, their son and their rascal of a French bulldog.
