Plush Kamenatt

forside_kamenatt

This plush was created for my nephew Timian when he was born. Kamenatt is awake at night. Kamenatt is very kind. Kamenatt looks scary, but it is just to chase away imaginary animals that might be in the room. Kamenatt has a magical tail that plays Brahms Lullaby and whisk away the imaginary animals. Kamenatt is [...]

On our first meeting I presented these sketches – pastels on coloured paper. Although well received, there were expressed concerns about the “crudeness” of the sketches – admittedly, there was a certain “art-schoolish” flair to them (which I thought were [...]

Tree Kings

rack_vitra

The birch veneer rack made for Cathrine Kullberg’s Christmas mini lampshades is now standing on the sales desk of Vitra’s Norwegian concept store.

wrappingpaper

The new wrapping paper just arrived from the printers, and we are very happy. The print is inspired by the Flanellograf, once state of the art technology for storytelling in the kindergarten, and (surprisingly) still on the market. The pattern is colorful and naive, and suitable for any gift. Get it at Hunting Lodge.

First sketches for a new textile pattern made for Mette Møller.

mm_pattern_01

First sketches for the Norwegian Weather pattern made for fashion designer Mette Møller’s summer collection 2009. We wanted to make something very Norwegian to emphasis on the origin of her clothes, and chose the ever changing Norwegian weather with 70’s prefab houses as a theme. All the houses are drawn from photos– they were for [...]
