I question the model of manifesting value...
As part of the Design Camp 2012 I joined a team of four international and Danish students that were given the slightly daunting task of working with the municipality of Kolding with some of their major challenges. The intention was to merge nudging and design methods to create a tangible, measureable design solution that would create a positive behavior change. Kolding Municipality wanted to create more flow and city pulse.
“There is a common perception that the city...
OSSA is the result of a third year collaborative design project together with Krystin Clarke. The brief was to create an occasional folding chair in solid wood that could be used both indoors and outdoors. We were provided with Western Larch for this project, an indigenous wood species that is well suited the climate and outdoor environment.
The folding chair OSSA is an occasional dining chair designed for use both indoors and outdoors. It is constructed to evoke surprise and ...
Float is the experimental design outcome from a third year “new wood materials” class. A class dedicated to emphasize hands-on exploration of wood matters , alternate production processes or techniques surrounding unconventional wood matters. We had the opportunity to work with reconstituting wine cork stoppers collected locally by the company Cork It. As a practice led research approach, I developed a strong consciousness about cork as a matter and challenges...
As part of a textile patterning class in my third year, we were assigned to design a blanket applying innovative patterning techniques to create a three dimensional effect on a flat surface. We were also called to draw inspiration from our environment and landscape.
Picnic is a blanket sewn with an integrated table reminiscent of a tree stump. It reflects the tension of savoring moments of appreciation in our natural environment and the physical marks that we afflict on the...
