Function is essential in my work. It's what drives me to create new things in a world that is already flooded. However, I want to embellish function with aesthetics, the craft requires skill and traditional know-how in my objects.

Daily needs inspire me. When I designed the Push Coffeemaker – Muuto – it evolved from my search for a beautiful and functional coffeemaker in ceramic that is pleasant to grip and pours easily. The same holds for the butter dish. I was tired of all the greasy paper wrapped around the bar.

A teapot has been on my to do list for many years. As a potter, it is quite the apprentice’s masterpiece to make a teapot that is beautiful and harmonic in its expression yet functional when you pour. I also have ideas about larger one-off functional pieces.

Clay is a relatively tricky material if you want to work with serial production. But I like that challenge. I like that the material requires my skill and competence if I want to bring it to perfection. The same holds for plaster which is the material I use for all my moulds.
