“Latta chair” 1997.
Soft and flexible
seat in laminated
wood and textile.
A soft seat inspired by the
construction of a corset.
The combination of textile
and wood gives a seat that
is both supporting and
flexible. A soft chair with
the comfort of upholstery
but thin as a leaf. The
material used is easy to
separate and could easily
be recycled. The seat is
sold by the metre in the
same way as textile.In this
way people can have an
easychair or a sofa exactly
as wide as they want.
“Kovilan” summerhouse
1998. Project for
private client.

units where each have its

open with glass walls on
two sides that makes the
nature part of the

divided from the kitchen
only by a large white cube
containing a fireplace. The
more private or secluded
part of the house has
sleeping rooms towards the
morning sun in the east.The
angled ceilings reflects
the daylight and gives
different light atmospheres
during the change of the
day.

diam. 590 or 410 mm.

Excellent Swedish Design
Award 1999.
“Spillersboden” 1999.
The Ten Square Meter
House. Housing fair
H99 Helsingborg.
The floor plan is 10 square
meter and total height is
3.10 m. The idea of this
basic house was to
investigate what kind of
inner space you could create
from such small
measurements, still having a
place to cock, to eat and
socialise and to sleep. The
inner functions, like the
kitchen and the storage
shelf, gives a
characteristic shape to this
very basic architectural
volume.

Produced by Pukeberg.
“Latta wall” 2001.
Installation.
Housing fair Bo-01,
Malmö, Sweden
“Sound Object” 2000.
Textile loudspeakers.
Prototypes.
An object for producing
sound that is visually more
coherent to music and sound
than the usual boxy
loudspeaker.
The idea was developed for
the “Rumfang” exhibition at
the Danish Design Center in
Copenhagen and Abitare il
Tempo in Verona, Italy in
2000. Sound Object was
exhibited at Spiral Garden
in Tokyo 2001 and in cbi
showroom during the Salone
del Mobile in Milan 2002.
Included in the permanent
collection of
Kunstindustrimuseet in Oslo.
“What’s new” 2002.
Textile over second
hand glass. Gallery
Pascale, Stockholm.
The project reflects about
designing: there is the
functional aspect, an idea,
decisions of combining
shapes: straight lines,
curved lines - symbolised by
the second hand glasses -
existing shapes creating a
new shape.
Included in the permanent
collection of Nationalmuseum
in Stockholm.
The Latta wall wakes you up
carefully with light. During
winter time in Sweden, there
is no sunlight in the early
morning. The extra light
boost will increase helth
and well beeing.
Installation in the model
flat of the Swedish Society
of Crafts and Design at
housing fair Bo-01, Malmö.
Referring to the painting
“Madonna con collo lungo”
this bowl and vase plays
with the idea of a slight
too long neck. The bottom
part has a basic shape and
is transparent, showing the
content while the upper part
of the bowl and vase is
painted with an opaque
colour.
A simple and obvious design
that takes a minimum of
space in the cupboard and
that is friendly to the
clothes.
The shape is relatively
strong thanks to it’s beam
like construction. For
heavier coats you need to
take two side by side of
the otherwise very flat
hanger. It’s a cheap and
mass produced coat hanger
sold in packs of 5.
Material is polypropylene
which is a recyclable
plastic.
”Hemlis” coathanger
1998. Coathanger in
recyclable plastic.
Produced by Ikea.
