Back to my tree roots

Drawn by the urge to make things with my own hands, I started creating beautiful and functional objects for the home that are inspired by the surroundings of where I am from - a corner of Sweden where my great great grandfather set up a farm and forestry a few hundred years ago. 

My father, Lars-Åke now manages the forest, and has taught me everything I know about working with wood since I was a child. 

I have designed a holistic collection of contemporary home ware products made using traditional methods and eco friendly finishes, using Juniper wood from my family’s forest and local, sustainably sourced Birch and Pine. 

My aim is to continue the legacy of my grandfathers, to nurture and sustain the forest whilst creating beautiful things.
