A ceramist that turns everyday work into play. This Danish designer has created a range of sculptural, innovative designs around a common idea: to unite form and function. He attaches great importance to the primary function of things and to the pleasure of performing everyday tasks. Here are some examples of well-known functions being used and experienced in a new way: his yellow colander, which functions both as a strainer and, in a single movement, a serving bowl. The juice jug with built-in citrus press, with its narrow spout holding back the pits and the pulp. The decanter’s round base and rolling motion make its contents come to life. The sturdy handle, which is part of the mug, rests on the table and is comfortable to hold. Tools for everyday life with innovation in form and function.
