Here’s a small set of flower pots for Rosendahl’s new 2021 outdoor collection I helped develop.
In this initial concept we were looking to use a mix of recycled plastic materials to obtain a sort of terrazzo aesthetic. This choice of material and shape makes the pots that much more sustainable, light and stackable.
I personally appreciate the unpredictability when using recycled plastic materials such as this one. It’s always a bit of a surprise what spots of color you’ll obtain on each recycled pots, making them a bit more unique.
In the end, however, the creative direction proceeded with more plain colors for marketing reasons. The project is now produced and launched on the market.
During my trip to Japan in 2016, I had the great privilege to work for my friend Mikiya Kobayashi.
After playing around back and forth with various shapes, curves and proportions, we eventually came up with the Horizon table and the Round chair a set entirely made of wood. The beauty and originality of this project lies in the joinery and edge details, a hallmark of Japanese simplicity and elegance. Both are available in walnut or oak.
Designed by Mikiya Kobayashi.
Working in partnership with GLOBAL and the Rosendahl design group, to develop a collection of oak cutting boards. The largest one was already existing and we completed the set with a medium sized bread board and a smaller multipurpose board.
I assisted the team with sizing, 3D modeling, rendering and a few final placements of the product on Photoshop. The collection is currently available on the market.

Just a personal project I undertook after having newly moved to Munich in 2017. My new little flat being totally empty, I decided to make myself a cozy setup.
The pine used here for this project was actually found in a nearby dumopster. The wood, though needing a bit of care, was still in great condition ! So I decided to upcycle it and turn it into this functional piece of furniture.
The project was at an early stage when I worked on it in 2016. Though the main concept ideas were there, the project was entering what would be a long development phase.
Along with the rest of the team, we explored internal mechanisms, seat proportions and ergonomics, shape of armrests, shape of the swivel base etc.
The finished product finally launched in 2022.

Designed in 2016, the first year I lived in Copenhagen.
At the time, I was interning at Normann Copenhagen as a product designer, an internship that lasted 6 months. During this time, I worked on a large variety of products including this cute collection of oak brushes.

For the Rosendahl brand, I explored several shapes and materials for a salt & pepper grinder, and the oil & vinegar bottles of the same set.
This was a collaboration with Danish brand Rå.”Rå” meaning “raw” in danish I focused mainly or using “raw” materials such as glass, cast iron, brushed steel and wood for the casing of the mills and bottles.
I also wanted to make sure that each object can be entirely disassembled for maintenance, durability and later on proper recycling.
During my trip to Japan in 2016, I had the great privilege to work for my friend Mikiya Kobayashi. Together we traveled to the western region of Matsumoto, a region known for it’s great craftsmanship.
We developed this charming pendant set, a large and a small, composed of two main materials, thin strips of wood and washi (traditional japanses paper). The wood strips are carefully arranged and fixed together to form the structure, while the washi serves as a lamp shade.
The idea behind this was to take a traditional japanese manufacturing process and … reverse it a bit. Traditionally, the washi is entirely framed/encased by the wood structure to create a lantern. Whereas here, we tried to separate those two entities and have different complementing shapes for each. A nice bonus to that is the gentle shadows it makes on walls and ceilings.

PETZL’s Ultra-light and very compact ascender for rope ascents, hauling systems or friction knot replacement in self-rescue situations. TIBLOC has an automatic system that presses the carabiner against the rope to start the braking action on the rope.
Flow is a collection from Holmegaard that was launched in 2021. The glass is given this iconic water ripples shape which creates a similar water effect on the surface it stands on.
This collection was already at an advanced stage of development when I joined the project so I mostly helped with the final stages. Rendering, color variations, size variations…we even wanted to add a tea set and a teapot to the collection but that remained on the sketchbook.
