Animal chairs

When you take off the skin of a cow, there’s the meat. When you take off the meat, you have the skeleton. My chairs are constructed like a creature:
skeleton, meat, skin. I reconstruct metal frames I found on the dump based on anatomic rules. Like an archeologist who finds a dinosaur skeleton.

The chairs: Kurt, Kauer, Kummer

Store your memories

All of us have these treasures that we store somewhere in a box. Items from our childhood, findings from holidays… Every time we rediscover them, we remember the stories connected to them. Every time we clean up, we think we should finally get rid of them, throw them away.

Using 3D scanning I create digital copies of these treasures. The objects loose their materiality, but they keep their stories.With low-cost 3D printing I turn them into very personal products.

Renaturated Tacos

Every opening, every vernissage it’s the same: We eat culinaric artworks from silver trays, snacks where you wouldn’t believe that they originally were made from plants and animals.

With my taco chips I want to bring the natural aspect back to industrial food. The chips can be built in an architectural structure directly on the table, or grow across it in organically structured branches. Pick the chips like from a tree an dip it in the sauce which is contained in the structure

Ljusvaen

The illuminating friend on your couch. No more sitting in the dark while watching a movie. No more being afraid of scary scenes. No more spilling your beer while reaching for the chips.

Puppet Lamps

Puppets from the secondhand shop reworked into decorative lights.
These dolls got bright little minds.
