Lazy sunday

The plates and cups have smooth soft curvy shapes and all sharp edges are reduced for a more comfortable feel.
The range may be used at the table but also on floor-pillows on the carpet or lazily in bed. The content stays in the objects even when tilted due to the high rim.

The design was exhibited at the London Designers block 2004 and it is manufactured and distributed by Sanyo Toki, Japan.

“Line”

was developed as a commission for Sarner Cristal in Thun, Switzerland. The irregular outlines of the rim of these shapes are drawn by hand, not using a computer program. This allowes for a more human organic shape, that also change the way the sides of the shapes tilt.

The range consists of multifunctional bowls and vases that are mouthblown in crystal glass.

Luomo.

The breif for this vase design for the same company was to create a vase for the typical small but wide Swiss flower bouquets commonly given as gifts.

As these bouquets often vary in size, this vase consists of two parts that are used either combined or apart as separate vases. It allows larger as well as smaller bouquets.

The Bamboo ricebowls were developed on a commissin for Masters Craft in Mizunami, Japan. The company was looking for a new shape for the commonly used rice bowl.

The inspiration for these two shapes came from the traditional shapes of Japanese tea bowls combined with the feeling of objects made out of Bamboo.

Pokela is a simple and easy to approach tableware range made entirely out of recycle clay.

The project was commissioned by Mr Hasegawa at the Green Life 21 project which is a nationwide clay recycle project aiming to produce environmentally sound products out of used and broken ceramics.

The Pokela range was awarded a national Good Design award in Japan in 2004.

The range is produced by Ichihara seto Co. and can be bought in many outlets around Japan. It is also used in the Brown rice café that provides a healthy vegetarian menu based on organic micro biotic research.

Disappearance works

The idea of this project is to play with the notion of space saving in the congested and compact homes of any urban city, in this case as the work was made in Japan I was thinking of Tokyo.

I was experimenting with different ways of camouflaging everyday objects into their surroundings, making them “disappear” and “reappear”.

In this way they are saving not only physical, but more importantly also mental space.

Erikoinen

The “Erikoinen” range was first designed for and exhibition in Tokyos Designers block aranged by IDEE.

Sponsoring companies Masters Craft (distributor) and Akechi Seto (manufacturer) decided to take the range into production.

The range consists of a cup and a saucer and a large dinner plate. The items are multifunctional and stack tightly.

More about the concept behind the “Erikoinen” can be seen under the title: Disappearance works.

Section bowls and vases

It is possible to make the bowl higher and allowing more fruit, salad or food being served or displayed. If at another occasion a smaller bowl is needed, the container can be lowered into the extension part, again lifting up the contents to the viewer. In this way there is no need to store away the extension parts in a cupboard, as city homes are usually tight with storage space. There is also no need for several different sizes bowls as one serves most functions and needs.
