Swedish designer Fredrik Paulsen has teamed up with auction house Bukowskis on Foundation of Joy, a playful furniture series featuring neon colours, tree branches and chains.
Exhibited at Bukowskis' gallery during Stockholm Design Week, the series features one-off versions of furniture by Paulsen's recently launched brand, Joy Objects.

The designer only allowed himself a day on each hand-made object, producing 33 works in just 33 days.
The experimental results also incorporate engravings, LED lighting, packing tape and aluminium chequer plate.

"I had a very tight deadline, so I set myself a rule of not spending more than one day per item," explained the designer during a press tour. "Some pieces were very fast and some I spent many hours on, but it was good because it meant I didn't get stuck on details," he said.
