With a background as industrial designer working several years with product development on various project, I am now focusing on furniture design.
For the past 14 years, I have worked mainly within the design agency area, doing work for design consultancies in Sweden and Denmark as well as in my own design studio, based in Aarhus, Denmark.
Furniture design has always fascinated me, while you as designer get the chance to work with form, crafts, materials, construction, story telling and the opportunity to design good sustainable products.
Whether it is a piece of furniture, an everyday product or a sculptural object without a functional purpose, the individual design can affect us emotionally as a viewer or user, comparable to how good music can touch us. I find this to be a very interesting and important aspect of design and something I strive for in my creative process, with the hope that my designs can create value, whether it is in its form, functionality, aesthetics, material or its story. My highest priority as a designer is to create relevant projects that will hopefully last for many years and bring value to peoples every day.
I am always curious to hear about new ideas or projects, so feel free to reach out to me, and I will be happy to drink a coffee and hear about your thoughts.
Kind regards,
Martin
