My Precious Belongings

”Henning Koppel’s fish serving dish, designed for Georg Jensen with its organically shaped curves has inspired me”

Materials
3-D ash veneer, Tasmanian black heart sassafras veneer, walnut, ash veneer and MDF.

Techniques
Vacuum-suction moulding (3-D veneer) as well as ordinary moulding with outer and inner form.

Challenges
Vacuum-suction moulding.

Why have you made it?
I am no good at dovetailing drawers by hand and such. I wanted to make something, which I did not think the Japanese would think of. Something in the Scandinavian tradition. Henning Koppel’s fish serving dish, designed for Georg Jensen with its organically shaped curves has inspired me. Basically I have creative interests and like to play.

Time spent
Around 200 hours.

”Henning Koppels fiskefad, tegnet til Georg Jensen med sine organisk kurvede former, har inspireret mig.”

Hvorfor har du lavet den?
Jeg er ikke god til håndsinkede skuffer og den slags. Endvidere ville jeg fremstille noget, som jeg tænkte, japanerne ikke ville finde på. Designmæssigt skulle det være noget skandinavisk. Henning Koppels fiskefad, tegnet til Georg Jensen med sine organisk kurvede former, har inspireret mig. Grundlæggende har jeg kreative interesser og er et legebarn.

Tidsforbrug
Ca. 200 timer
