“My Kids and my inspiration and the reason why i startet doing what i do. Why? Because I love the way they think, their creative minds and wild imagination. Give them anything …. a piece of wood, a leaf, a cup, what ever it is, they will start playing with it, turning it around, changing its position ….and before you know it, a whole new imaginary world is build up around the item they are playing with and the more into the play they go, the more real their imaginary world around it becomes. It is truely fascinating and there is nothing I love more than getting inspired by their games and imaginary worlds, it opens my eyes and makes me see the world from a new playful perspective. I really hope their wonderful imagination will stay with them.”

I am inspired by the scandinavian and japanes wood-joinery tradition, which is well known for its high aesthetic and attention to the detail. With this approach I hope to design a product that will last a lifetime. A toy kids will take with them into their adult life….that will remind them, that they should never grow to old to play!”
