- 3. WALL MOUNTED BIKE HANGER Unobtrusive is a second semester project, where a wall mounted storage device, mounted with a maximum of three screws, made of steel wire was supposed to be designed. Cycling is an environmentally friendly method of commute and with increasing levels of pollution in urban areas a subculture is emerging around bicycles. Within this subculture, people use their bikes not only to get from point A to point B; they use their bikes as a way to express themselves. The result of this project is a sculptural, and in its appearance unobtrusive, wall mounted bike hanger that is all about showcasing your bike. It can be fitted close to a corner in a room, close to the ceiling in order to be truly unobtrusive to the often small spaces in people’s apartments where the bikes are stored and displayed.
- 5. SHOE MAINTENANCE PROJECT Design Methodology Clarks Care is an assembly of products that gives the users a certain space and the tools required to keep their Clarks shoes in great shape, making them more endurable and last longer. This project is about design methodology, figuring out common and personal ways to reach a desired result when designing. It is also a project regarding branding, where it has been a part of the challenge to create a product for an existing brand.
- 9. LUMINAIRE PROJECT For any space is a project that initially tried to find a solution to an existing lighting problem in a defined space. In the end, the solution turned out to solve a higher amount of lighting problems in an undefined space. For any space was meant to be placed in a narrow hallway, where one could need different lighting for different tasks that took place. For any space is a luminaire that should be mounted to a wall, either horizontally or vertically. By rotating the main part of the fixture, light is directed and distributed either towards the wall, for ambient light or in any other direction to provide task light.
- 12. BRAND ANALASYS PROJECT Droog is a design company founded in 1993 by the designer duo, Renny Ramakers and Gijs Bakker, and is based in Amsterdam. As a design company they have had a great impact on the contemporary design history. They're pioneers in the way they use design as a playful and ironic way to comment on society. Droog's design is experimental and conceptual. It is thought provoking rather than problem solving. They play with tradition, society and preconceptions about materials. Rather than having a specific form language, Droog's design choices are mainly based on a conceptual, playful interpretation of historical and cultural aspects, with concepts that have an ideological and/or philosophic undertone.
- 13. The word Droog was first used by the design duo during the 1993 Milan furniture fair and means "dry". The name referstothesimplicityandtheunderlying dry humor of the designs which has since become their trademark. Droog it yourself captures the brand identity of droog and is made as a conceptual product that could fit into their line of products. Droog it yourself stems from the growing DIY trend, and the fact that droog products often are mimicked in DIY projects. In this group project, a generic stamp with a reflected droog logo could be sold for a ridiculous amount of money, in a box that is far too big for the actual object, raising its value. The stamp will create an imprint on any product that anyone could desire to be a droog product. It is a comment on society, and droog as a brand, where the brand or logo itself, often are of a higher value than the actual product. This project is presented with the notion of this product being the last ever product that will be released by droog. This project was made as a group assignment withinaproductsemiotics course, in collaboration with Becca Allen, Bjorn Fjaestad and Felicia Nilsson.
- 14. B-LEVEL PROJECT Purify is a concept for making water purification available to people in need of clean water. The motivation for this project is the cholera outbreak in Haiti that is a consequence of the earthquake that struck on the 12th of January in 2010. This project examines the possibilities of applying a novel method in order to purify enough water for an individual or family. Purify works as an affordable and more democratically available method of providing clean drinking water even after the outside world and NGOs has stopped providing relief after humanitarian or natural disasters. Filling the gap of what happens after. Purify adapts a bio-interactive modified cellulose fibre filter that resembles a coffee filter in its structure. The filter is in the shape of a circle and folds into a cone. The filter cone fits in an adjustable silicone funnel so that any container would suffice for the concept of Purify.

- 18. PLASTIC CHAIR RE-DESIGN What is a modern furniture classic? Furniture in transformation is a workshop project where a modern furniture classic is analyzed in order to define three characteristics to apply to a conventional altea plastic garden chair. In order to do this, Modern Furniture Classics was also defined. Modern - I have chosen to interpret the word modern as something that finds its connotations in the present time, or in the context of when the object was designed. Something new, novel or contemporary. Furniture - Furniture, objects that is used in a space for its spatial and direct functions. Classics - what makes something a classic? To me a classic is somewhat created through the eyes of the contemplators. If an object becomes storied because of certain iconic characteristics or because of its impact in its time, it is worthy of being called a classic. I also think that bravery should be rewarded! The piece of furniture chosen for analysis is Kai Kristiansen's chair - No. 42
- 19. How could these characteristics be represented in a re-design of the Altea plastic chair? - Demonstrating crafting skills by using different techniques for the woodwork. - Defying conventions by letting the armrests "hover" in an unconventional way. - Showing off an iconic silhouette. The three characteristics that was defined for No. 42: - Demonstrating crafting skills. - Defying conventions. - Showing off an iconic silhouette.
- 21. C-LEVEL PROJECT Inducer is a single component, contact free, frictionless and non battery powered bike light. Inducer uses physics phenomena to provide the lightsource with energy, in order to illuminate the path in front of the cyclist using inducer. This project stems from the definition of a user, a space and a problematic situation in the context provided by the definitions.

- 28. BACHELORS DEGREE PROJECT The cyclo chair is designed in order to imply questioning towards the current throwaway consumption patterns in contemporary office environments. When companies move, downsize or update their brand identity, often a lot of furniture is discarded although they are still in a fully functional condition. The cyclo chair is made from beech wood, sand cast aluminium and brass. All parts are made from homogenous materials that are easy to separate. The design is strong and timeless. Cyclo is environmentally sustainable, mechanically sustainable and enables easy recycling, to adapt to the current throwaway trends in consumption. Hopefully, cyclo will not be thrown away, but instead be used for decades, be repaired and reconditioned. Cyclo is designed in cooperation with Nils Rutqvist.
