2024Skärholmen LibraryProfessional work


Skärholmen Library 



In collaboration with Elin Persson we renovated a 7,534 sq ft public library for our client: Stockholm City Cultural Administration

located in a marginalized community we aimed to have sustainability and inclusivity at the heart of every decision. A curated mix of flooring materials, colours, and curtain walls creates a diverse spatial sequence with dedicated areas for different needs and ages. The children’s section received particular attention. Guided by children’s own visions, the design invites play and imagination. Low shelving and child-scaled furniture encourage parents to experience the space from a child’s perspective. Built-in reading caves, podium, and curtain portal frame the section as a world of its own. Sustainability was central throughout — 98% of all furniture was reused or upcycled, reinforcing the environmental responsibility inherent to public design.

    2019BänkAcademic work


    Bänk



    Bänk was developed through an intuitive making process: starting from a pile of planks, the form was assembled from imagination rather than a fixed drawing. Where material and void meet, space becomes as deliberate as the object itself, resulting in a composition that reads as both spontaneous and carefully crafted.


      2023ACEProfessional work




      ACE 



      Arctic Center of Energy (ACE) — Skellefteå, Sweden. In collaboration with Johanna Moe | Interior concept. Arcitects Link Arkitektur.

      ACE Powerhouse is a 64,583 sq ft timber-structure building currently under construction in Skellefteå, northern Sweden — designed to become a hub for green science and research on sustainable energy.

      The interior concept mirrors the building’s environmental ambition through a commitment to sourcing up to 100% reused and locally salvaged materials. A continuous, colourful backdrop running through corridors and staircases forms the green heart of the building — a flexible canvas that reflects the focus on sustainable energy while embracing the unpredictability of a material-driven design process.

      Local sourcing was central throughout. As one example, the terrazzo flooring in the main entrance and restaurant was cast using porcelain from a decommissioned local hospital — giving discarded material new life within a civic landmark.

      The project systematically worked to minimise climate impact through conscious material choices, reuse, and the exposed timber grid of the building itself — turning the structure into both a research environment and a living demonstration of sustainable design.





      2018PLANKANResearch Work


       PLANKAN



      Plankan explores what is possible within extreme material limitations, a functional chair constructed from a single piece of pine measuring 90 x 12 x 5 cm, without screws or mechanical fasteners, built to support a person weighing up to 220 lbs. The project became a question of how to maximize presence despite restriction, creating something solid and generous in proportion from almost nothing. The seat is constructed from vertically oriented strips of wood, a structural decision rooted in the mechanical properties of timber,  orienting the grain vertically increases resistance to compression, lending the chair a dense, tactile quality. As much as the object itself, the design investigates the voids and intervals between elements: the space in between becomes a defining formal gesture.


      2025Unnatural NaturResearch Work


      Unnatural Natur 



      Unnatural Nature is a ritual of Belonging, a collaborative installation together with Andrea Miller, and Mark Sejourné, developed as a critical response to the university’s lack of dedicated spaces for rest and sensory recovery. The work takes the form as a guided 15-minute spatial ritual, designed to offer restoration within an academic environment that rarely permits it.

      The room is draped in hand-dyed fabrics, suspending any sense of predetermined direction or expectation. Lighting shifts slowly in dialogue with a layered soundscape, moving from a low drone through birdsong and soft piano, guiding participants through a meditative state while allowing complete freedom of movement throughout the space. There is no correct way to inhabit the room.

      This project was a multidisciplinary process where my main role was concept, fabrication drawings, visual diagrams and installation.

      2021ROSE GARDEN Artistic work


       ROSE GARDEN



      Rose Garden is a series of five sculptural figures in ceramic and mixed materials — an investigation into the right to occupy space and exist within it on one’s own terms. Each figure is built around an inner skeleton of metal and wood, layered with stoneware, glaze, and wool. Together they form a group, yet remain incompatible and unfamiliar to one another, much like the individuals we become through lived experience.

      The work asks what it means to take up space — not as something granted by social definition, but claimed from within. Brought into the context of interior architecture, the figures become a lens for understanding how identity and presence shape our relationship to the rooms we inhabit.

      Materials: stoneware and glaze, metal, wood, and wool.

      2025Dream Space Research Work



      Dream Space 



      Dream Space explores dreams as fragments of experience that intertwine over time. Created as a textile tent turned inside out, it offers a contemplative environment for sorting memories, influences, and emotions rather than escaping the world. Drawing on Jungian ideas of dreams as bridges between conscious and unconscious life, the project uses patchwork as both metaphor and method: fabric pieces become traces of lived experience, stitched into new meaning.

      Participants enter the space, add threads, and sew patches, contributing to an evolving collective surface. Referencing migration, vulnerability, and the symbolic weight of textile traditions, the work frames softness as strength. Like dreams, the patchwork reveals meaning through fragments, inviting reflection, connection, and shared authorship.
