The Shape of Time:
Art and Ancestors of Oceania
from The Metropolitan Museum of Art
The National Museum of Qatar, Doha, Qatar, 2023
Over 120 works from The Met’s unparalleled collection tell the story of creative expression and innovation over the centuries throughout the Pacific Islands. 

The Shape of Time takes a fresh look at the visual arts of Oceania to explore the deeply rooted connections between Austronesian-speaking peoples. The artefacts on display are noted for their artistic and historic value, varying from wooden sculptures to items of personal adornment and textiles. The artworks come from the many peoples of the region–from the insular region of southeast Asia to Australia and Papua New Guinea to island archipelagoes in the north and eastern Pacific—and date from the 18th century to the present.

Rather than conform to a strictly linear or regional presentation, the installation demonstrates the interconnectedness of Pacific Islanders and their rich cultural heritage by presenting clusters of artworks in cultural groupings within three thematic sections: Voyaging and the Ocean, Ancestors and the Land, and Time and Agency. Each of these sections explores ideas pertinent to the expansive visual language of Oceanic art and anchors the art in an overarching conceptual landscape.

Growing Kopi, Drinking Qahwa,
Stories of Coffee in Qatar and Indonesia
The National Museum of Qatar, Doha, Qatar, 2023

The exhibition invites the visitor to go on a journey to discover the history and cultural traditions of coffee in Qatar and Indonesia. Both countries have an ancient and intimate relation with the drink, that goes back to the origin of its cultivation and trading. After being cultivated and consumed for centuries in the Arab World, coffee became popular in Europe in the 16th century. To overcome the Arab hold on the plant, the Dutch undertook growing coffee in their colonies, starting with Java Island, in Indonesia.  

Growing Kopi, Drinking Qahwa is organized in five thematic sections, including growing and drinking coffee, sustainable farming, workers rights and colonialism, as well as social and cultural development. Organized in partnership with the National Museum of Indonesia to mark Qatar-Indonesia 2023 Year of Culture.

Kasthall Flagship Store
Stockholm, Sweden, 2023
MUSEEA collaborated with Swedish luxury rug maker Kasthall to create a store interior that reflects the brand’s artisanal craftsmanship and attention to detail. The theme for this immersive shopping experience was bouclé, with its distinct, textured loops serving as the inspiration for both the material palette and the overall design language.

The space is defined by soft, curved forms and a muted, natural color palette that accentuates the tactile quality of the materials. All custom installations throughout the store were crafted using Kasthall’s own textiles, reinforcing the connection between the brand’s products and the space itself. The combination of rich earth tones and textured surfaces gives the interior a warm, inviting atmosphere, encouraging visitors to engage with the space both visually and physically.

The subtle interplay of light and shadow highlights the intricate details of the bouclé textures, making the space feel dynamic and alive.

FORTH,
The Future of Orthopedy
Hässleholm, Sweden, 2022–
FORTH, The Future of Orthopedy is a new cutting-edge healthcare facility dedicated to advanced orthopedic care.

MUSEEA was commissioned by the Skåne region of southern Sweden to create a facade artwork for this groundbreaking new building. The arwtork draws inspiration from the rolling landscapes of Hässleholm and Skåne, as well as the organic curves of the human body. These flowing forms are mirrored in both the facade and the courtyard, creating a visual language that harmonizes with the surrounding architecture and natural environment. The design underscores the scientifically recognised healing power of nature, bringing its soothing presence closer to both patients and staff, enhancing their physical and mental well-being.

Further inspired by the intricate beauty of nature's fractal patterns, the facade features perforations that transition from large to small, echoing the repeating patterns found in ferns, spider webs, and tree branches. Research shows that such fractal patterns can stimulate and enhance brain activity, contributing to a calming and restorative environment.

This project is a collaboration with architectural firm Krook & Tjäder and landscape architects Lava Studio.

Currently under construction.

A Queen Within—
Adorned Archetypes

In storytelling, archetypes exist as powerful figures that consolidate certain universal human traits. While fashion designers work in tactile media such as paper patterns and cloth rather than in the written word, they are nevertheless storytellers using symbols that carry valuable, non-verbal information. A Queen Within—Adorned Archetypes takes this insight as a fertile starting point from which to explore how contemporary fashion designers engage with seven female archetypes—each unique in her strengths, weaknesses and significance. These seven archetypes—Thespian, Mother Earth, Explorer, Magician, Enchantress, Sage, and Heroine—all stand as wellsprings of creative inspiration, as well as opportunities for contemplating the relationship between dress, society, and our shared history. 

A Queen Within highlights a broad range of designers—from the internationally famous to the emerging—resulting in a deep inquiry into the diverse nature of the feminine. Gowns, wigs, shoes, and photographs are presented in immersive environments rich in symbolism, inviting visitors to peer into the private worlds of the deeply powerful feminine figures.

Realities
Östergötlands museum, Linköping, Sweden, 2022
Realities invites visitors to explore a fresh perspective on art, challenging traditional notions of categorisation and hierarchy. Through a selection of works from the museum’s collection, the exhibition highlights that all collections are, by nature, fragmented and subjective, offering only partial views of art’s vast landscape.

At the heart of the exhibition lies a fundamental question: “What is art?” Traditionally, art exhibitions have focused on artists’ biographies, artistic movements, and specific time periods. These narratives often assume a pre-existing, sophisticated understanding of art’s role in society, presenting it as something distinct from everyday life and positioning artists as either geniuses or rebels. Realities aims to shift this perspective, encouraging visitors to question these conventional frameworks. For those already familiar with art, the exhibition offers new and unexpected insights. Meanwhile, those less acquainted with the art world will discover that art is both more accessible and more complex than they may have initially thought.

By breaking down elitist barriers, Realities equips visitors with the tools to look beyond the surface of traditional art history, fostering a deeper, more personal understanding of what art can be.

Our Way Here
Östergötlands museum, Linköping, Sweden, 2022
Our Way Here is a cultural and historical journey that takes visitors from the present day back to ancient times, offering a deeper understanding of the region’s rich heritage.

The exhibition is composed of eleven distinct rooms, each focusing on a different historical era with an emphasis on Östergötland. Every room has been thoughtfully designed to reflect the unique characteristics of its time period, highlighting both the changes and the continuities in society and the landscape over the centuries.

Visitors are invited to embark on a reverse journey through time, much like archaeologists uncovering layers of history. As they move from the present back to the distant past, they explore the evolving story of Östergötland, all the way back to the era when the land was still covered by ice.

This bespoke, handmade kitchen, designed for a private client in Barcelona, offers a serene balance between natural textures and contemporary design.
