Fascination for how old, Swedish, wooden houses can withstand centuries of bad weather inspired me to work with wood and metal as the only materials for this human-powered washing machine.

The overall intention with this project is to see if low-technology appliances have any potential in modern society.

ÅSTA STOOLKarin Ekwall

Åsta is a stool inspired by traditional Scandinavian furniture. It’s simple and functional, and every part is made out of wood. The stool is easy to package and fold flat for transportation or storing, thanks to the joinery technique borrowed from old carpentry clamps.

When you push the handle down, the leg is no longer locked to the seat, and you can disassemble the stool.

MARKETPLACEIn the light of new ways of living, the Marketplace is a common place where people can share goods and knowledge. The arrangement of tables and other elements, such as plug-in cooktops, enables residents to do all sorts of activities, like cooking or relaxation. The portable greenhouse is a suggestion to the increasing food awareness and provides the possibility to bring home grown vegetables.

Being intended for communal usage, the materials used are in accordance with maintenance and hygiene.

ROOT When it comes to storing food effectively and well, conventional refrigerators is not always the answer but often part of the problem. Root provides appropriate storage for different kinds of food, with the goal of minimizing waste. By sectioning the piece into compartments with different temperatures and humidity, food keeps longer; additionally the sections provide a clear overview and increased accessibility.

The unit can easily be retrofitted since it has the measurements of a standard fridge.

Unlike the rest, Ivan is the result of a 3rd semester BA course in Design Methodology, with the briefto design a hand tool for a brand of your choice. The citrus press can be used for all kinds of citrus fruits. Slots prevent pulp and cores from sliding into the bowl; the quadrangular shape inside makes it easy to pour the juice from each corner.

The shades are produced in collaboration with pottery maker Lilian Jensen.
