Inspired by the resilience of long, cold Scandinavian winters, where landscapes shape the way people live and create, Marie-Louise sought to reflect that same sense of endurance and respect for nature in this collection. To bring the pieces to life, she chose a setting that embodies these values: the Emmaus forest in Neukölln, Berlin.

This rare green oasis has stood for decades, providing fresh air, shelter for wildlife, and a natural escape for Berliners. It is a place woven into Marie-Louise's daily life, where she lets her dog run free and observes the seasons change, a space where time moves at its own rhythm, much like the slow, deliberate process behind her work.

Now Emmaus Wald is at risk, with plans to clear it for residential development threatening to replace ancient trees with concrete. Some things cannot be rushed back into existence once they are gone. This collection stands with the forest: slow to make, made to last, shaped by a place that took decades to grow.
