Sanne Bernhart

All art is useless, Oscar Wilde once wrote, Yet Sanne Bernhart thoroughly disagrees. Art has a function. It is a statement, a memory, an indictment, a decoration, a witness, a provocation, a pampering. But at the same time it is a coat rack, a lamp, a bottle opener, a cookie tin or a bowl. Every creation has it in itself to be art. Art is what you get when you say: WOW, nothing more nothing less.

Functional Art is what Sanne makes. A work of art which you automatically want to use. Tot give it a purpose, but then with the WOW factor. A WOW fruit bowl a WOW lamp or just a thing with a WOW as decoration.

In everything Sanne Bernhart does, she asks herself: “is it, is it going to be, or can it become a WOW?” That is how she bought her first pieces of art herself. And that’s how she makes her own art. It deserves to participate in the life of the happy owner. That’s the WOW Sanne Bernhart is looking for.
