Handmade cement tiles in a combination of four different colors. One tile combines rich and earthy natural tones, such as terracotta, sand and bark. The other tile is a mix of vibrant pastels that may evoke thoughts of summer and exotic places. The pattern is a slightly twisted cross that creates four irregular squares and the tiles can be arranged in several different patterns together.
Handmade cement tiles with a pattern of simple straight and overlapping lines, but it´s in the space between the lines that the magic happens. These spaces create another pattern that reminds me of a game I played as a child, the classic game of Jacks or Knucklebones. Each tile features a combination of two tonally related colors, one light and one contrasting darker color.

Horses have always held a special place in my heart.
In my youth, I worked as a groom, tending to both trotters and jumpers in the stables. Hours were spent cleaning and caring for equestrian equipment and preparing the horses for their training.

The collective travelled down to Lammhult an early morning to be the first humans to actually experience a fully assembled Universe, and explore it in the deep woods between Lammhult and Motala.
The combination of mirror glass and wavy metal is inspired and reflecting a geometric section of nature such as the sun setting into the sea or a where a field meets the forest.

The name of my vase with flowers is LYCKA. It is the Swedish word for happiness, but also refers to a fenced meadow and of course, a display of flowers can make you happy.
The flowers are expertly crafted by hand, using free-blown techniques by the skilled glassblowers at Reijmyre Glassworks.
I have selected four distinct flower shapes for the arrangement; Bellflower, Sunball, Poppy and Cattail. The vase’s vivid surface has been created with air bubbles which gives the feeling of sparkling water. An everlasting bouquet of flowers.

The benches in cross-laminated timber is a development of the Viaduct bench in stone.
All the wood used is a residual product from making CLT panels (such as cutting out windows and doors) for the building industry.
Inspired by the ancient Roman aqueducts or viaducts, VIAduct has a strong architectural presence and blends naturally in both a classic or contemporary setting. Can be used as a solitary or be combined into a sinuous bridge movement. Timeless and made to last forever.

These handmade cement tiles are a tribute to the beautiful tree that grows in the center of my garden. To plant a warden/guardian tree in the center of the yard is a Scandinavian tradition that can be traced back to the Vikings and the mythology of the World Tree, Yggdrasil. Caring for a sacred tree would protect your home from evil but also provide a direct connection with the nature spirits. An abstract organic pattern that form a classic fan shape within a square.

You can choose to hang it on the ceiling, on the wall or standing attached to a flat surface.
The red second clock hand is showing the second movement in a nice sweeping circle with no ticking sound. The red also indicates to be alert and to be on time – for the train or any other activity but also to take care of every second of the day in our life.

The Cacti planter collection has grown, their signature curves have inspired a group of wire hanging baskets. They can be hooked together horizontally or vertically to form a sequence of interlocking designs.
Just as birds line their nests with branches and twigs, the bottom of the baskets can be lined with moss, greenery or plants that take their nutrients from the air.
Or they are beautiful just as they are.

Santander needed our help to re-think, re-fresh and re-charge their agile way of working at their offices in Solna.
We found new possibilities within the existing floor plan, opened up and developed spaces for people to interact. With a focus on sustainability we created meeting spaces and informal lounges while using both new and repurposed furniture. To tie the concept together with Santander’s heritage we developed a design language inspired by European currencies.

We wanted to explore how HOLY would interact with the slow, flat landscape in Ostrobothnia. The suited gentlemen from Mentalpropell accepted the task of letting HOLY inspire them on their way from Sievi to Stockholm. Their investigation of HOLY has led us to see new aspects, both of the candlesticks and of the suited gentlemen. Transporting monumental candlesticks led us to new insights on the interaction between physical objects, people and landscapes.
