My apartment is one of those places where there is a small altar at every corner, nothing religious, but a collection of things that I’ve encountered in the course of my life and that are important to me whether found, traded, given or acquired. I put these objects into a relationship with each other that gives them a new order or a new meaning.

I’m not a collector in excess. Everything has been carefully thought out and carefully arranged, and I want my home and studio to radiate something very casual and comfortable. Lots of colour, ethno, handmade, wool, fur, ceramics and things with patina and personal touch. And flowers—if I hadn’t ended up with wool, you could well imagine me in one of those Danish cafes, where you can buy freshly baked cakes, some well-assorted junk, ceramics and a small selection of special flowers.
