Pendant light


The starting point was a simple but powerful challenge: how can we reduce material waste in a sculptural process often known for its loss?

Inspired by the beautiful movement of the plank, I developed a bandsaw technique that follows the grain of the wood in long, flowing cuts. Instead of carving out the waves from the wood block – which leave behind up to 48% waste – each part is born from the negative space of another. This method yields curving, interlocking pieces with only 15% material loss.


The pendant light is not just about aesthetics, it’s a proposal for a smarter, slower way of producing. The tools are simple, the method is open-source, and the potential is wide-reaching: reduced cost, lower emissions, and a poetic relationship with form and function.



       


                                                                            

RYTM chair


Sustainable design doesn’t require high-tech solutions – just a new way of thinking.

This sculptural chair is part of the RYTM collection together with the pendant light.

The chair is crafted by a production technique that reduces material waste from 48% to just 15% – without compromising on form or function. The result is sculptural furniture that supports a more sustainable way of making. The method is low-cost, accessible, and proves that meaningful change in the industry can start with a single, well-crafted cut.

Stool 01



A debut project at Malmstens, showcasing my fusion of solid beech and paper cord in a handcrafted stool. Inspired by both architecture and graphic design, I developed and built the piece from concept to completion.
