Force of Nature use the urn as a symbol for recognition of death as a part of life, and a reminder to enjoy and live our life while we have it. Last Friday, October 2nd 2009 FoN opened “The Urn Show” exhibition in Copenhagen, Denmark where 15 Danish and international artists and designers decorated a traditional blank urn. The artists include Bigfoot, Andrew Schoultz and Henrik Vibskov (all pictured above) just to name a few.

Today we come across an interesting new collection by Danish design Hans Madsen. Hans Madsen graduated from The Royal College of Art in London in 2007, with great reviews from the press. Since then Hans has been busy: Helping Diesel with their luxury line “Diesel Black Gold”, winning numerous design awards and doing collabs with Collette in Paris just to name a few.

The exclusive collection from Hans Madsen for Force Of Nature, Copenhagen, is characteristic in its high quality materials. A key element of Madsen’s work is “Nordic folklore reinvented” with a contemporary approach to military clothing. The collection consists of a jacket, hoodie, cardigan, as well as several t-shirts, with each piece having a unique cut and look.

As part of their Fall 2008 collection, Amongst Friends got together with Danish label Force Of Nature. The rather young label released their first collection last season.
The two got together for one design, which will be coming in two colorways.  The design is a rework of an old German woodcut dating back to the 15th century, dealing with the great issue of death, here with a more medical feel.
F.O.N.s mission is to cultivate the aesthetic and the Scandinavian approach to design in an unconventionel way, and often with set-off in acknowlegement of natures presence and strengh even in modern day life. Definitely a label to watch.
Anyways, look out for this nice collaboration. More images after the jump.
