contemporary design is vast landscape of new

forms and ideas. every year seems to bring about an

abundant number of fresh products to the market.

however, large parts of contemporary furniture design

are never commercialised or industrially produced.

still, we are often inuenced by this type of work. for

the casual observer, the images of prototypes can be

as real as any commercialised designs. some of these

prototypes even becomes design-icons in their own

right. of the so-called icons that are manufactured,

many do not have any signicant commercial success.and for some of them, success can come years, if

not decades, later. presenting furniture on different

occasions since 1998, most of my designs have been

popular with the press, the public and private clients.

i have yet to produce my design industrially in great

numbers, yet i still experience welcomed interest

from the public whenever i present my work. some

of the attention might be out of pure politeness, as

many are friends, but somehow i also believe that my

research for spatial qualities and intelligible concepts

are compelling to the public. generally, i nd that most

people are surprisingly capable and thrilled to virtually

explore and visualise the furniture according to their

own appreciation of space. this interest motivates me

to pursue my work and further distribute my designs.

it is said that the way ahead takes a look back. this

portfolio represents not only a retrospection of my

past and present production, but at the same time aprospect of my upcoming projects.
