For the highly respected design house, Rosendahl Design Group, I have created an edgy collection of tableware, including thermos jugs, serving bowls, and tea accessories.

The Christmas tumbler collection is a fun playground for me. It is my professional interest and passion to create cute seasonal figurines for a specific target group. The collection also includes Halloween figures and will in the future embrace all kinds of seasonal occasions as figurines. All designs are made for Spring Copenhagen.
Meet Duckie – the jolliest wooden duck around, ready to waddle some joy into your Christmas. With a playful wobble and a twinkle of charm.
Say hi to Dizzie and Woozie, the two reindeer.
The Christmas tree is a beautiful wooden figure that captures the cosy magic of Christmas.
The Snowman is a cute decoration that spreads Christmas cheer throughout your home. The figure has many lovely details, from his top hat to his tiny buttons on his belly.
Santa is December’s busiest man. He has to build, pack and fly around with presents for all the children – just the thought of it is enough to make you dizzy. Fortunately, he gets plenty of help from Elfonzo the elf and Woozie the reindeer to keep the work-life balance in check all the way through Christmas.

These are soon to be small Christmas trees.

Made from FSC certified Oak and thermo Beech.
The Skeleton is a fun and charming wooden figure that brings a humorous twist to your Halloween decorations. The Pumpkin rolls in with smiles and a dash of autumn cheer. The perfect decoration – where cosy meets spooky, with a playful twist and festive flair.
Honeycomb cufflinks – a large piece of statement jewellery for the modern gentleman. Attention is guaranteed. 925 sterling silver, oxidized and high polished.
18 karat gold pendant set with 34 small brilliant cut lab-grown diamonds.
18 karat gold ring set with 26 small lab-grown brilliant cut diamonds.
I only use lab-grown diamonds whenever possible. Some people believe that lab-grown diamonds are fake. The reality is that they are as real as a mined diamond pulled from the earth. I personally think that we should limit our search for shiny rocks deep within the earth and go with science instead.
The lab-grown diamonds are often purer than mined diamonds and always available at a lower price. I don’t see the romantic aspect in a rock that required removing hundreds of tons of soil, using lots of chemicals, and risking child labor and generally poor working conditions. The lab-grown factories are not perfect regarding working conditions, I’m sure, but I think they have much greater sustainable potential than mining. I know many will disagree — lucky me, I live in a free country.
I can’t stop myself; I keep inventing new ways of approaching old classics. Here’s a new take on cufflinks, once again…
Also in a hammered version. The light is beautifully reflected in the hammered surface.
18 karat gold version
High polished and with a small oxidized detail
My sterling silver “Clips-links” again a new take on the cufflinks. I LOVE cufflinks.
18 karat gold ring set with a pink stone from Madagascar (I forgot which kind), and framed by small lab-grown diamonds. It was received very well.
High polished and with a small oxidized detail
Shiny and precious.
Raw casting
My Spring cufflinks. Yet a new take on the classic cufflinks.
These seemingly simple objects are not so simple to get onto your shirt, at first. But they are worth all the effort. You’re guaranteed to receive compliments.
I also made them in an 18-karat gold version for a connoisseur.
The Spring cufflinks are simple and effectful. A dapper detail. A classic with a twist. Truly understated luxury.
Working at the bench.
An object of pure form ascending through the raw surface.
The earth’s crust yields to its presence, revealing a pearl set in a sterling silver ring.
Sterling silver and wood inlay – almost done.
High polished – done…
These cufflinks were a result of my long experience in the construction sector combined with my then-new career in the jewellery field. Hinges and hardware from buildings, combined with the fine intricate details of high-end jewellery, resulted in the creation of these dapper cufflinks.
Inside the base of each cufflink is a small spring that keeps an even smaller metal sphere in place. The spring and sphere function as an open/close mechanism that snaps the base into either an open or a closed position. The sound of the snap is oh so satisfying!
Upon request, I had one pair made from 18k gold, set with two 0.5-carat lab-grown brilliants – one carat in each cufflink! They were amazing, and the receiver was very satisfied.
Final hand cleaning.
Get rid of “bacon collars,” use collar stays for straight collars.
Sterling silver collar stays.
Crest shape bangle – hammered.
Ready for the engraving.
A very large “cocktail ring” shaped as an abstracted eagle.
An Eagle is being born, from red jewelers wax…
The eagle has landed…
My personal interpretation of the Vetruvian man by Leonardo Da Vinci.
WOLF, a ring with two minimalistic wolf teeth. The ring is slightly adjustable.
Big bad wolf

Wolf on leather cord…
Anchor pendant. 925 sterling silver.

Anchor in its right element.

Cube on cube on cube on leather cord…
Religion vs science? Co-existing should be possible.
Religion vs science? Oxidized sterling silver on anchor chain.
Rubber molds, wax patterns and castings. Work in progress. In the ZONE.
Less is more. I have taken away an essential part of the Vitruvian Man by Leonardo da Vinci, leaving only the square and the circle. This motif has been so used and misused that I decided to leave out the misused part (the man) entirely.
You can now imagine your own character inside the circle and square and give it the meaning you desire.
Arrangement of burned matches in the shape of a crucifix. Perhaps a comment on religion?
Sterling silver and partly oxidation on an anchor chain.
Mother of pearl lapel pin. Perfect for leveling up ANY suit.
Sterling silver Hex lapel pin.
Hex lapelpins.
Black agate lapel pin. Stylish and clean.
On request, a cracked 7.62 caliber bullet with some ivy growing from it. Sterling silver.
A various variety of wonderful jewellery
A wide and eclectic selection of bespoke jewellery pieces I have made along the way. Mostly for men, and a few for women.
