Flight
Romanticism often guides my decision making. It is easy for me to be romantic about specific things like peninsulas. It’s as if the land wanted to reach out into the water to feel its ebb and flow. Like a peninsula, Halvö is exposed to the room; accessible from three sides, and low; not breaking up the visual space around it. When designing Halvö (Swedish for peninsula) I imagined sitting with my legs crossed, watching cold pacific waves crash onto the shore. In one way or another, all of my designs make me excited about nature and the origin of the materials we use to make things. Halvö is designed for and produced by Möbelverket in Gothenburg.
