How would you describe this collection of products?

It’s an eclectic mix of useful objects that I hope elevate the quotidian. I’m happy to explore the meaning of daily objects and if possible see where I can advance their purpose.

All of the materials are sustainable and locally made with the exception of a Jug by a master ceramicist in Portugal.

One object- called Fields 2.0- is a cutting board that we have updated to make it more functional.

It can now collect the jus of meat and has a larger flat cutting surface- making it more durable than the original.

What techniques are you using?

The typologies are eclectic and driven by my interest to design with materials and craft that we could either make ourselves or locally.

Even though they may appear quite simple, the process and method was full of trial and error- nearly blinding one carpenter early in the process.

The dovetail table combines two traditional carpentry joinery in the modular leg.

First the ‘ tail’ is cut out then with the established center point it is then lathed to create the round cylinder. Leif persevered with 30 years of experience at Carl Malmstens

and managed to produce a stunning result creating a new expression in wood joinery.

The small serving bowl we were told- by a large ceramic factory- would need to be made in 2 pieces. So began our journey to make it ourselves.

Our workshop floor soon looked like an excavation site strewn with clay failures and broken plaster moulds.

Merging a bowl and cylinder is easier said than done if you want to cast it in one piece we learned.

The appearance is simple but I assure you that looks are deceiving.
