Welcome!

The following work samples show the diversity of my previous projects and give an idea on how I am combining user centred research, knowledge about materials as well as production methods and the ability to visualise ideas for innovative products in detail.

Each project is developed in an organised and scheduled process starting from research, competitor analisys, sketches, mock ups and user feedback until the refined result is visualised and realised in the final physical model.

Product & Transportation Design

What is the sustainable alternative for domestic flights?

Design opportunity

The aim was to create a comfor-table and sustainable alternative for flights on distances between 800 and 1200 km. Sleeper trains retain a powerful ability to provi-de travel that is both reasonably comfortable, affordable and potentially time-saving. What if these advantages would be used in a bullet train?

Inspiration

Capsule hotels, airline seats and sound absorbing materials were the starting point to design the bullet night train of the future. Continued with mock up testing and ideation workshops.

Final Layout

Each slot is slightly angled to fit a person and luggage within one com-partment. The layout of the individu-al space results in an arc shape which offers space for showers and toilets. The refined layout was realised in a 1:15 physical model.

The interior was mainly 3D printed.

The exterior parts were vacuum for-

med on top of a milled block of foam.

The journey

The interior offers an open space feeling and clearly indicates the different passenger spaces. The electrochromic glass changes light transmission properties when voltage is applied. It is used as a curtain at night.

Security

Luggage is stored and locked within the passenger space and the back rest can be folded up and down with a switch on the left hand side.9

Unique atmosphere

Users can either enjoy the pa-norama view or their WIFI con-nected devices. Half transparent tent covers provide privacy and open space at the same time.

Integrated functionality

Digital devices can be charged at night. The socket is highlighted by the cup holder of the table which provides a pocket for valuables and glasses underneath.

Sound insulation

The sound dampening pattern is used as decorative element and cre-ates a cosy feeling. The space feels like a lounge before people decide to sleep and close their tent covers.11

Concept

The IQ Air concept uses carbonfiber frames in combination with infla-table parts to create a light weight structure for future electric cars. Its structure helps to increase the range of the vehicle and creates a direct access for the recycling process of the airbags.

Bosch Vacuum Disc

Sous vide is a method to cook vaccum sealed food with low temperature to keep vitamins and nutritious ingredients. It is a convenient way to prepare me-als with high flavour and tender texture. The vaccum disc is a unit which pro-vides precise temperature sensoring inside the pot and the ability to vacuum seal food in plastic bags in connection to modern induction cooking plates.

Concept

The vaccum device is used wireless on top of the induction plate. Its light ring glows as soon as the device is put in place. The positioning itself starts the device and it needs to be removed to turn it off again.The meal is ready for cooking after the food is vaccum sealed. Two heat sensors can be placed in different pots to have a precise feed-back of the water temperature.21

Post Interior

User centred design

The Ume postal terminal is one of the biggest mail companies in Europe. The terminal is responsible for delivering one million mail items and packages every day. Due to the low population density in the north of Sweden most of the mail is finally delivered by car.

Teams of two to three students observed different mail men on their route through the city and suburban areas. The experience was shared in a two week user workshop.

Vacuum Cleaner

Salto Mortale

The Miele Rebound is particularly suitable for small apartments because it is extremely agile and small.

Inspiration

The formal sources of inspiration are the orga-nic designs of Ross Lovegrove, Saha Hadid and the livestyle of the Popart in the 1960th.

The technical antetype is the electrically operated Tesla Roadster and the hybrid technology of the Chevrolet Volt.

VW Karma

VW Karma is a redesign of the VW Karmann Ghia.

The most important form element is the organic sideline. It is inspired by Virgil Exners Chrysler DElegance. The pulled out front and the air inlets characterize the Ghias facial design. It reminds of the Porsche 356 built in 1950.
