design beach combing bag
Beach combing bags (Seabird; Seaturtle; Crab) for children made for the 'RE-Frame´ competition. To reduce the impact on the "plastic soup" by having fun in cleaning up the beach. Because I´m a Pirate, interested in micro-parts, I feel this is an important issue to attack now. Before all the plastic in the ocean has broken down into micro-parts that will integrate into our food chain.

design, research guerilla hats
Hats knitted with left-over wool in combination with stolen threads. Guerilla technique, with a small scissor, I stole some threads from scarf’s of my neighbour, aunt, strangers in a pub etc. (they did not notice) And turned the micro parts into hats. Designed as a pirate.
