The idea for the hanging kokedama plants arose from the customer's desire to give life and warmth to their bathroom. Kokedama is a Japanese plant technique. The Kokedama plants are suspended in long hooks of brass thus enable the plants to be lifted off easily for regular watering. The plants hang from three bleached longitudinal tree trunks of driftwood. The bathroom got the desired effect of; heat, moisture and scent - and appears as a functional greenhouse of the home.

The coaching room is designed as a workspace for life coach Roxana Kia, to her original ‘Hart Mind Institute' on Refshaleøen. The space was part of an old shipyard. The inspiration for the interior and the atmosphere in the room was based on a natural concurrence between the coaching's mental movements and the place's original maritime connection.
The room was often showered in sunlight, therefore the choice of dark objects and dark floor, mixed with maritime signal colours, created a fundamental warmth and humour in the room. Most objects in the room were equipped with wheels enabling the decor to be changed quickly. All painting and patina was based on linseed oil products.
Material / dimensions: Lath boards, steel pipes, linseed oil paint, etc.
