About
As recent Royal Danish Academy graduates, we plan to start our own studio to further explore biobased materials and refine the techniques from Bundle. We believe designers must redefine material use for sustainability, and we aim to create functional, aesthetically pleasing products that push the boundaries of sustainable materials and inspire industry change. Kirstine is experienced in material-driven design and working with experimental processes. Her methods are the basis of our projects and light the way moving forward. Jón Hinrik has a background in carpentry and craft and takes care of the technical aspects and finer details of the furniture design process.
Bundle is the result of material-driven research into biobased composites in furniture design. Through extensive experimentation, we developed a stackable, lightweight mono-material chair by thermo-pressing flax fibres and PLA into rigid shells. The chair weighs 2.5 kg, with about half of that weight being bio-based plastic. Our project emphasizes material-driven design guided by creativity and curiosity, using biobased composites to challenge traditional plastic furniture construction. By splitting the chair into smaller components, we maximized material efficiency and introduced a craft-like quality uncommon in plastic furniture. The incorporation of flax fibres into a PLA matrix makes the composite both biobased and biodegradable, reducing environmental impact.
