“Skrattmås” is a gull bird. My grandfather called them “doppa huvudet i choklad” (dip your head in chocolate).

It is also the name of a new product we released for IKEA. An obstacle course kit. A bag with a few selected obstacles to spark the creativity and movement. The challenge was to find the optimal set of obstacles without overdoing it, and also to make it flat packed and light weight.

A lot of sketching and playing in this design process🏃🏻‍♂️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏽‍♂️

Bärfis is an insect that can produce a stinky odour when threatened by a predator, the English name is Stink Bug. Bärfis is also the name of a new product I designed for IKEA. This one doesn’t smell, but it’s very functional for your home. The hanger is attached to the door and can be adjusted in different lengths so all can reach ✨🪲
