The guarding company is engaged by the building commissioner who has also an architect office involved for the room and building quality. What kind of camera would the architect choose for the best room quality? By interviewing architects, the guarding company and the public I made a an anlysis and a surveillance camera for this purpose. Bosch Vita is an imaginary brand of a new design line from Bosch.

Really not a nice chat subject. That’s why the purpose of this panic alarm is camouflaged. The Lancome panic alarm lets you stay glamourous the night out. Only you know what’s behind your make-up mirror.

This is a concept where I together with marketing and engineer students brainstormed ideas for increasing the awareness about the need for recycling. Our theory was that it must become as natural for kids in kindergarten learning how to ride a bike as learning how to recycle.The concept Retura Friends consists of eight friends which all have their favorite kind of recycling material. For an example: The Paper Frog, who only eats paper. When the kids visits the recycling station the sense is that they should recognize the characters on the recycling barrels. The concept consists of five parts, read more in the the complete portfolio or view the presentation.

One day I found a big black bag filled with old circuit cards. The next thing I knew I started creating amazing accessories that embodies my love for electro music, minimalist fashion and quirky things. Segtnan Electronics was born.
