Johanna Nestor is a young artisan who designs and makes contemporary ceramic tiled stoves using traditional techniques. She studied at Konstfack University College of Arts, Crafts and Design, where she obtained her bachelor’s degree in ceramics and glass in 2016. “Tiled stoves have a long tradition in Sweden, although most are mass-produced in factories,” she says. “So the idea of making ceramic tiled stoves came quite naturally to me. I've always loved the rustic and genuine feeling of old houses and traditional objects. Since tiled stoves are made out of ceramics, one day I thought I could possibly make a stove myself... that’s how it all started.”
