Since 2023, Mette Ditmer has been a valued DMI partner, bringing a refined Scandinavian sensibility that feels both warm and expressive. This story centres on one standout object - The ART PIECE Artistic vase - and the way a single, tactile form can shape the mood of a room. It's design that invites you to slow down, look closer, and live a little more intentionally.
From textile to a whole-home universe
Mette Ditmer began in 1995 with textiles - materials chosen for their feel, their durability, and the everyday ease they bring to a home. Over time, that starting point expanded into a complete interior universe: bathroom, living, kitchen, and the objects that knit spaces together and make them personal.
What has remained consistent is the brand's clear set of values; authenticity, outstanding quality, well-being, and an exacting attention to detail. Each collection is guided by the balance of form, colour, and function - design that looks composed, feels good to use, and holds its place over time.
Art Piece Artistic Vase
Editor's pick: The ART PIECE Artistic vase is sculptural, tactile and quietly statement-making-an object that reads like craft first, decor second.
The Artistic vase is based on Mette Ditmer's own hand-sculpted ceramic practice, then reproduced in stone resin, in two calm, architectural finishes - Sand and White, and that final human touch matters: It ensures each vase carries its own character, with subtle variations that make it feel lived-in from day one.
At W30 x L18 x H33.5 cm, the proportions give it presence without forcing it. It can hold a generous arrangement, but it's just as compelling empty - placed on a console, a shelf, or a table where its silhouette can be approached from different angles. It's the kind of piece that makes the room feel considered, even on the days when you bring nothing to it but light and space.
A tactile collection with a twist of the unexpected
Mette Ditmer is skilled at creating interiors that feel tactile, Scandinavian and stylish - always with a small twist of something unexpected. The effect is calm without being clinical, expressive without becoming noisy. It's a look that encourages contemplation and creativity, turning routines into moments that feel more intentional.
Within the wider ART PIECE family - spanning bowls, vases and figurines, alongside candle holders and other sculptural objects - the same sculptural language returns again and again, as if each piece belongs to a shared world of shapes and gestures. Still, the Artistic vase stands out as a complete expression of that world: one strong form, beautifully made that anchors a space and makes everything around it feel more connected.
As we mark 25 years of DMI, this partnership is a reminder of what lasts; design that carries meaning, is built with care, and earns its place in a home over time. The ART PIECE Artistic vase reflects that long-term approach - thoughtful, enduring, and part of a larger story we're proud to share, one partnership at a time.
