‘We Reap What We Sow’ by Tjåsa Gusfors
Carl von Linné would be frustrated to see that many of his beloved plants and animals still bear his names, but no longer exist. We reap what we sow.
 
’Jesisca’ by Jörgen Westin
’Jesisca’ is a flower in bloom, welcoming and alluring in style and form. Smooth, flowing lines capture the organic essence of the chairs, each one representing two of the flower’s petals.

Swede Tjåsa Gusfors is the creator of ‘We Reap What We Sow’. She is an experienced ice sculptor, and has been a part of the ICEHOTEL family since 2000. In addition to sculpting ice live, she is responsible for the design and construction of the world’s largest ice cinema and snowmobile drive-in theatre in Northern Norway. Tjåsa is the co-founder of Papagena Music and Theater, a traveling theatrical company that has performed throughout Europe since its start in 1991.

Jörgen Westin created ’Jesisca’. He has a Masters Degree in industrial design from the Umeå Institute of Design. He currently runs his own design consultation company and occasionally teaches design. The Swede is a passionate fly fisherman and spent most of this past autumn in the forest, chasing mushrooms.
