I am an illustrator, children’s book author and art director.

I spend most of my time at home drawing and painting, and over the years, it has become increasingly important to me that my home and studio make me feel calm and creative.

It’s a little like the room you have as a child, or a hideout, where you surround yourself with your favourite things. There’s a bit of that spirit in the way I approach my interior.

I would say my interior is quite simple, and almost everything is made of wood. It’s a mix of mid-century Danish vintage furniture and pieces from makers I love, including Vaarnii, Nutsandwoods and SÆTTER.

Even though I sometimes dream of a messy atelier filled with materials for painting and drawing, I find myself much more focused and creative when there is less. I am especially drawn to Danish and Japanese interiors, with fewer but high-quality pieces of furniture.

It’s hard to say!

Outside of any personal or sentimental items, probably my wooden chairs. There’s something really satisfying about the shape and quality of a simple, beautifully crafted wooden chair. I also have to mention my SÆTTER cup shelf, an object I had wanted for a long time.

I love things that change as they age, gaining a unique character that only time, light, and use can give.

I recently bought a pitcher that I use as a vase from SOFI, one of my favourite spots in Berlin.

They collaborated on a series of very rough ceramic objects with a small atelier in France called Poterie Not. I love that each piece is slightly different, imperfect, and has a real handmade feel.

I think it’s the attention to detail—whether it’s a chair, a bowl, or a book—that makes such a difference.

When an object feels like it was made with care and attention, with the intention of lasting, it has a very different feel from something designed to be replaced.

I originally intended to use it for storing art supplies, but I ended up using it for my ceramics instead. I’m definitely thinking about getting the larger version for my paints, brushes, and other bigger items.
