2012

At Produktställ AB I designed mainly Shop in shop installations and product presenting display solutions. PS had a broad variety of customers and the projects usually demanded fast execution from sketch to production.

2011

Since my current job at Produkställ AB had only minor needs for free surface modeling I parallel started my own freelance design business to be able to work with other challenging projects...

 
   

2010

Teaching Alias at the local university

The industrial design branch of the technical college in Jönköping invited me to teach the students a basic course in Alias for designing cars

Speculative projects

Since I enjoy kayaking a lot and had small children at the time - I worked on a concept to build a kayak with additional safety pontoons which easily can be folded neatly onto the kayak body.

This proposal was presented to the Swedish kayak manufacturer 'VKV'.

Speculative projects

To widen SB-Internationals product portfolio I was investigating possibilities to build an all electric Quad.

2010

Speculative projects

At Yellon I worked out speculative products to approach new customers.

Here a kids bike. It can be used early without paddles, so the feet stay on the floor and the child can learn to balance. Later the saddle can be adjusted to a higher position and the paddles can easily be added.

This proposal was presented to the bicycle manufacturer 'Crescent'.

Pressmaster ratchet crimp tool K67

Pressmaster themselves calls this ratchet the "world's most advanced crimp tool - the K67 Ergonomic line".
During my employment at Yellon I designed the tool handles, proportions and ergonomic features - such as a special soft area allowing the user to press the lower handle against a working surface to achieve higher pressing force.

OEM race car design

Since most projects of SB international are for theme parks those models are build exclusively only for those customers.

To be able to offer a model free from those restrictions SB invested into an own design.

Visualization

In 2007 my wife - a toy designer - started her own business and I helped visualizing some of her concepts.

A "learning to walk" cart for toddlers. The child should be stimulated to push the pram so the marbles in the transparent drum on the rear axle would start tumbling around.

Final exam

I proceeded - based on the results of my internship - to finalize the truck by suggesting a new interior design which focused mainly on separating driving and working tasks and to optimize the symmetrical dashboard and center controls to allow for cost efficient production of left- and right steering version...

The truck - based on my design study - is manufactured since then and called FUMO.
