Design and art collaborations

Artistic collaborations with companies on product development, special editions and co-creation.

I create artistic collaborations with companies that want to develop products with a strong visual identity and a narrative rooted in the language of nature. The collaborations can range from limited editions and specially designed art products to artistic elements integrated into existing collections.

My approach is based on organic structures, cell shapes, botanical references and the universal meeting of micro and macro. It is a visual expression that is easy to translate into interior products, design objects and decorative elements.

The companies are involved early in the process, so that together we can shape a solution that aligns with the brand's aesthetics and target audience. Each collaboration is unique and developed in close dialogue, from the first sketches to the finished product.

Examples of options
• Artistically decorated limited editions
• Custom designed products based on my patterns and organic structures
• Co-creation projects where art and design merge
• Illustrative elements that strengthen a brand's visual universe
• Unique artwork for product launches or events

I work with both smaller companies and larger brands that want to create something with character, sensual and timeless – and who are looking for a collaboration where the presence of art can leave a clear mark on their products.

If you would like to discuss a possible collaboration, please feel free to contact me.

 

Sound-absorbing art. I collaborate with Dansk Lydisolering to create acoustic solutions where function and aesthetics go hand in hand. Here, I combine my organic patterns and nature-inspired structures with their technical expertise in sound-absorbing materials.

The result is several series of acoustic images that not only improve the room's sound environment, but also add a visual calm and artistic expression. The collaboration is based on a shared ambition to create products that work in both professional environments and private spaces, where acoustics and aesthetics are equally important.

If you want a solution that combines art and acoustics, you are welcome to contact me for a dialogue.

 

ArtTiles is a series of architectural artworks created from sustainable ceramic tiles. It is a collaboration between Surface Design Studio and Mosaikhjørnet .

I create tile art as both architectural sculptural works and ceramic tiles, where my paintings are printed on the tiles, so they can last outdoors and for both bathrooms and kitchens. I have a few smaller works for sale in the studio and shown online here, but these tile works are primarily created for larger projects in companies or public construction projects, where the art is created in collaboration with the architect/designer as site-specific works and adapted to the individual project.

TILES WITH ART IN BUSINESSES

I create works of art out of ceramic tiles for companies, hospitals and other public buildings.

The sculptural works can be created to hang both outdoors and indoors. They are very robust and can be made in large sizes.

The works are adapted to the individual project and can be created in materials that fit in with the remaining decor and shape. The development of the artworks takes place in collaboration with you.

Here you can read more about my art in companies , where I also decorate companies with both murals and paintings on canvas.

You are welcome to contact me to get a non-binding offer and hear about the possibilities.

NATURAL PATTERNS

Natural Patterns is a series of sculptural architectural works of art created from sustainable ceramic tiles from the Italian company Ariostea The tile works are created from ceramic tiles, wood and brass and can be hung both indoors and outdoors.

My art is based on the basic patterns of nature, how the world is mirrored from microbiology to macrobiology, and how everything is inextricably linked.

Earth, fire, water and air are the titles of the four works. The titles reflect the basic elements used in the production of ceramic tiles. Each artwork represents the element it is named after, and together they form a cohesive series.

The Italian company Ariostea works actively to make the production of tiles as sustainable as possible and produces the tiles in a green hydrogen factory in Italy. The works of art here are created from residual products from production.

The four artworks are a collaboration with Surface Design Studio.

The works can be seen on display in their store on Store Kongensgade in Copenhagen.

PRINT WITH ART ON TILES

My Paintings can be painted on special paper so that they can be digitized and printed on ceramic tiles. The tiles are durable and can withstand being bricked up in both bathrooms and kitchens. Ceramic tiles can also be used in companies in, for example, receptions as wall art, but will also be durable enough to be used on floors or outdoors on facades. The durability is extremely high and the possibilities for use are many.

If you are looking for something completely unique to be developed especially for you, contact me. I would be happy to propose a solution or develop a solution in collaboration with you.
