Time for reflection. Walk about. Look around. A picture here, a sculpture there.
Peace of mind. Sit down. There is a stool standing there, tempting and vacant.
Creating its own space in the room without forcing itself on you.
Transformation: Ten layers of plywood cut out in a 53 cm x 125 cm rectangel and stressed to the limit of the material's capacity. No front or back and you can even sit astride it. Freedom. And you can link several to make a row. Then you can invite your friends too.

Two stools, visually inspired by a midwife´s stethoscope and the stamen of a flower. A functional as well as a visional pleasure! A break from everything serious and mercantile.
ROCKABLE
ROCKABLE was invented during a competition in 1999, entitled “Planken ud” (Walk the Plank). A plank was transformed to a stool, now produced by Orebo.
37 staves, each equipped with a turned knob, are driven into a circular foot, thus creating a convex seat for a 43 cm high stool that slightly rocks.
UNROCKABLE
UN ROCKABLE is based on ROCKABLE” and also designed in 1999.
35 staves, each equipped with a turned knob, are driven into a rectangular foot, thus creating a concave seat for a 43 cm high “Unrockable” stool.

Form
Et spinkelt trebenet, bedrøvet og søgende væsen, af ikke-jordisk oprindelse,
med et stort ”lyst hoved!
En svævende halvkugle balancerende på et trebenet excentriske ophængspunkt.
En halvkugle på en spids tresidet pyramide, en statisk udfordring i balance.
Ideudvikling - tiden inden ideen er født, alting kan lade sig gøre på papiret, det er dejligt, krævende og urovækkende at være i dette tomrum. Jeg starter med er at finde tilsvarende produkter på markedet - finde ud af hvilke jeg bedst kan lide - og så starter skitseringer udefra de produkter jeg fandt tidligere - kunsten er nu at finde sit eget udtryk! Hvornår har jeg fundet det! Er det jeg lige har tegnet nu det rigtige! Ligner det noget jeg har set før! En god regel for mig er: Når man ser produktet skal det stå klart uden at give association til andre møbler!
Funktion
Den lette mobile lampe med et koncentreret lysfelt og en multi-kipbar skærm vil opfylde mange behov i den moderne bolig. På arbejdsbordet, på sidebordet, på natborde, på gulvet og i reolen. Dens enkle og markante geometri vil passe til mange af de aktuelle indretnings trends. Med materiale- og farvevalget kan den tilpasses et utal af fremtidige trends, altså en fremtidssikret ide.
Konstruktion
Enkle elementer. 3 lige rør, et hængsel, et flexrør og en halvkugleformet skærm. Dertil kun kendte fremstillings metoder og standardkomponenter.
