I appreciate furniture that surprises and offers some sort of experience, i.e. movement. Construcion-wise I have a fascination for slim and flexible, but at the same time strong. Add metalcasting and steambent wood to the list, also not forgetting designs that can be produced locally or DIY - for resillience and future-proofing.

Common for many of my projects is some kind of visual illusion in the objects. I have done several projects with mirrors where I have worked on creating a surprising effect in the reflection.The OHH mirror from 2010 and the Tunnel mirror from 2009, are projects where I explored the possibilities of an altered reflection; creating something in the reflected picture that does not exist in “reality”. The Glow clock uses the reflected light of a strong color to create a “glow” and highlight the minute and hour hand of the time piece. Strong colors are also present in my Topp lamp for Established & sons and on the legs of the sofa TED.

I am fond of secrets and small surprises, and I like objects that allows you to get to know them better over time. I hope the user of my products can sense another human being behind the objects.

As a designer I always try to be innovative, but I might be a bit old fashioned in my thoughts of design. For me a product has to be realistic and useful to be called good design. What I try to do is to combine these basic thoughts with new innovative ideas.

Through the design process, I seek new ways to work with well-known objects and topics. The focus is often on making the invisible visible and to make the abstract more tangible. The goal is to encourage reflection, creating new patterns of behavior and to provide new experiences through absolutely (un)common everyday objects.

My products need to incorporate a key principle, this tends to be something with the function or the construction. I often use a key detail to form the base of the product and then build on this using my engineering background to create something that has both character and function.

I wish to be honest in my work and for this to be reflected in my choice of techniques and materials. Craft techniques inspire me, and their continuation is something I wish to participate in. I want my products to give people the opportunity to have an active relationship with the objects that surrounds them.
