“I called my DNA pavilion - I wanted visitors to look into it, as if they were in my head, as if they were spying on me and my work,” says the designer.

Especially for her, he designs an unusual pavilion "DNA" - a white oblong room with bright details resembles a huge children's designer. Inside is a small retrospective of the master - "space" porcelain figures, bright furniture, vases and original lamps.

В работах для другого датского бренда &Tradition Айон признается в любви к американскому классику Александру Колдеру, создателю кинетической скульптуры. Необычные столы с асимметричными столешницами, для которых дизайнер выбирает, кажется, «недружные» между собой материалы — гранит, мрамор, дерево и пластик, напоминают ему о мобиле — главном объекте Колдера, в котором тот искал гармонию и равновесие.
