Jøna Maaryn’s work is inspired by the desert communities of the American Southwest, particularly her time at Arcosanti, Arizona. Her designs combined elements of Japanese brutalism and futuristic architecture, mirroring the desert’s interplay of strength and fragility. Using rough concrete textures and shapes reminiscent of bones, her pieces evoked the dark, porous volcanic rock of the region. In this collection, Jøna explored human experiences and the influence of past visionaries. The Embre chair, shaped like a house, reflected control over personal spaces, drawing on her time at Arcosanti.
