Hi!
My name is Johan,
I am a Swedish Industrial Designer with working experience from Italy, Spain and Mexico. I
appreciate both the technical and creative parts of a project and the puzzles that emerge when
trying to join their pieces in order satisfy emotional and practical needs intertwined with one
another.

methodology and process.

01
A WARM WELCOMING
Mexican design is appreciated for its warmth and richness in colours and
details. It is a style that often differs much from European in aiming to
create excitement rather than harmony. A brave taste often gives room
to creativity and interesting projects such as the office for the real estate
Inver Inmobiliaria.

COLLABORATION
The new interior design
aimed to fullfill the clients
wishes - to differentiate the
client from other brokers and
to stand out in a saturated
market. My contribution was
designing and developing
the production of the desk
(left) and the reception
desk, walls and sealing
(previous page). The office
was planned by architect
Elias Adam who supplied us
with material. Together, we
at ABAKA designed furniture
and proposed materials and
textures for walls, roof and
floors.
My contribution was the reception desk, walls and sealing as well as the desk for the
head office.

SEE THE SEA
FEEL THE SEA
The role of the sea in humans life has been important for centuries, as people
experience the sea in contradictory ways: as powerful but serene, beautiful but
dangerous. See the Sea Is a public bench for beaches and coastlines. Inspired
by peoples common preference to sit on rocks by the sea it allows for a greater
accessibility even for those with an impaired mobility. It offers a harmonic seat for
contemplation and sun bathing for the visitors in an otherwise often monotonous
environment.

The food industry is with a good margin the sector producing the most green

When needed, the packaging TaMeDe [Swe. Bring It] is folded by the costumer from a
placemat. Close at hand and common in all restaurants, specially so on fast food chains
with advertisement on a plastic tray, it is primarily aimed at children as Happy Meals or
similar. Through a creative game the user is made aware of the importance of bringing
the leftovers and can also be a pass time for children during long dinners.

Rapid Prototyping
Using 3D printing the casing was printed from a 3D model,where parts from an disassembled hand whisk were fitted into
the new casing.
Working Prototype
By using the spare parts a functioning prototype was achieved and activated by pressing together the two parts of the
chassis over a blue rubber strip cut out with a laser. It can be held both as a pen, resting between the thumb and index
finger, and as a “skiing stick” for a more steady grip.

The branches have to be collected shortly in water with salt for 24h which makes them

EMPLOYMENT
At MH - Diseño en Muebles I lead the product development and was responsible for all steps
from design to cost calculations, ordering the material and supervising production and installa-
tions. A close collaboration with the client, my department, craftsmen and administration gave
me a complete insight into all the steps that precedes and follow the design process.
PROFESSIONAL RESUME I 2008 - 2018 PREVIOUS EMPLOYMENT
MH - Diseño en Muebles
Out of a staff of 30 employees, I was responsible for two colleagues and for all steps during the pre-production
phase. We delivered work to about 20 craftsmen handling 10 - 15 projects at a time. Materials used were mainly
MDF panels and agglomerates but we also worked with all kinds and qualities of wood as well as commonly
subcontracting blacksmiths and glass craftsmen and upholsters.
