ON HIS DESIGN PHILOSOPHY “I try to see the design from many angles simultaneously; from the functional to the emotional and from the rational to the irrational. It is important to give space for the unexpected and innovation.”

ON NEW NORDIC “Designers from Nordic countries have Scandinavian Design in their blood. But as design is always a reflection of its own time, New Nordic design builds on this tradition rather than replicates it.”
