This is a minimal three-seater curved sofa. We aimed to look at a curved sofa as a distinct type of furniture and minimize it to its essence. The sofa is composed of two figures snuggly holding each other. The center of gravity of a curved sofa is offset towards the front. This lets the backrest be tilted more than usual giving it an elegant and streamlined silhouette. This sofa works well for private as well as public interiors creating an inviting space and effortlessly combines with different seating furniture.

TILDA is a versatile and intriguing interior accessory that combines a coat stand with a pouf. The strength of this two-in-one solution lies in its creative melding of opposites: function meets aesthetics, fabric meets metal, and slender rods combine with a comfortable seat. TILDA works well as a coat stand, taking jackets, scarves and so on in hallways, but also as a valet stand in bedrooms and dressing rooms, where it is ideal for hanging clothes and offers integrated seating. It also features a small, adjustable shelf for storing everyday odds and ends such as smartphones and keys. Like the rods, the shelf is finished in a finely textured powder coating. TILDA also makes an eye-catching, inviting yet practical solution for offices, lobby and waiting areas, and hotel rooms. As the central element, the upholstered pouf can be covered in any one of a range of stylish fabrics and leathers in a variety of colors. A versatile favorite that enjoys the limelight from time to time.

Aye Aye! is a fleet of rugged, round and bold iron cast candleholders inspired by the time of adventure and discovery, when the enthusiasm of the Industrial Revolution revealed the world to travelers and fortune seekers.

The fleet is composed of four sizes – from a small tugboat with one funnel to a hefty steamship with four big ones. Each funnel is designed to fit either a tea-light candle for harbour light or a taper candle as a pillar of steam.

Aye Aye family is iron cast and powder coated for its colors. Additional space around the candles acts as an extra safe-zone. Being iron cased the vessels are quite heavy, therefore stable and hard to flip.

Aye Aye vessels can be combined in any size and number and create various themes that will be easy to adjust to
different happenings and backgrounds. One narrow piece will look pleasant on a window sill. Aligned in a row the pieces will resemble a naval fleet. Scattered on a dining table the vessels will seem to sail into an archipelago of plates.

Three tabletop objects – lamp, wooden pencil case and tea cup/pot  – explore sculptural, minimal shapes adapted to diverse functions.

Table lamp - assembled out of two simple shapes: a bowl and a stick. The bowl feels natural on tabletop and works as a holder for light stick, pencils or other items. The light stick can be moved around easily directing the light.

Pencil case - breaks into waves to display the content. It resembles solid wood cylinder when is closed and transforms sculpturally and functionally when it is open. 

Tea cup - a sentimental object, this type of item is touched constantly, played with in ones hands. It consists of 3 parts: the cup, the tea strainer and the lid. The lid and the tea strainer can be moved and flipped creating a different sculpture every-time it is recombined.

By questioning stereotype, aesthetic and functional aspects a special plot is created which works as an extraordinary feature making the item special for the user.

Projects done at Royal Danish Academy Superform lab using ceramic 3d printer from Unfold. This 3d printing technique gives an opportunity to create unique shapes in various materials. While mixing porcelain, earthenware and stoneware I could achieve different qualities of the materials as well as color and transparency.

Every object is unique by it’s shape, color or structure. The result of experiment is a variation of shapes that can be combined between each other, creating a family of singular vases.

The collection has been created using naïve chair as it's base.

Unsealed pattern for Rosenthal Studio Line

The intention of the pattern was to reveal the porcelain instead of hiding it. By disclosing just a part of the object, the materiality steps forward. The object loses its original appearance and the main attention  is drawn to the details and the quality of the porcelain itself. The pattern is made by repeating simple shapes such as triangles or dots into solid fabric-like stratum. These shapes create layers that are applied on each other and are disclosed by removing parts of them. Every object adopts its own clothing, revealing part of its body - white porcelain.

Every time, while holding a different cup, the holder has to adjust his hand and mind to the piece he is holding. In time various shapes and handles let you personalize your cups.The cups are made from one mould, then every handle is cut into different a shape.

It is an armchair comprised of two parts: frame and it's robe - slipcover. The robe has pockets which are usually the most private storage area for keeping small, personal things. Also, it is a good spot to keep your hands cozy and warm. The chair suggests a rather different sitting position for the person, helping you to feel safer or even braver. A variety of different fabrics and color variations can be fitted on the current base so it can be changed easily according to the user's character. This means the chair could wear anything from a modest suit to a punkrocker jacket.
