What’s your fave piece by another designer? “I enjoy
the Concrete chair by Jonas Bolin, produced by Källemo.
I consider it being more of an object and less a chair.”
What’s your home like? “It was an old clock shop.
I bought it as a renovation project, and my budget was
quite small and my time as well. It has a very free spirit,
almost like an urban summer house feel. People tell me
they enjoy being in the house. It’s a home for conversations,
thinking and studies. I don’t watch TV or stream television
shows, so the house has quite a low- tech feel.”
Does your work cross over into your home?
“Definitely. My home is where I get most inspiration. I often
bring home random objects or materials that after a period
affect my subconscious. I’m trying not to surround myself
with too many ‘finished’ products in order to have a more
liberal approach to new directions. Also, I appreciate
‘considered randomness’ as a style.”
What advice would you give any wannabe designers
out there? “Don’t complicate things.”
And if you had a life motto, what would it be?
“It would be: ‘We are our own creators’.” RWorlds collide
