In his workshop, Ole Jensen became irritated at all the dust and clay that constantly lay about the place. He bent down to sweep the floor, holding a folded newspaper in one hand and sweeping the dust into the newspaper with the other. A simple and straightforward movement that, together with the newspaper implement, created the basic idea for a new kind of dustpan - one that, in the spirit of the dogma films, you might call a hand-held dust blade. The dustpan is in all its simplicity constructed from a piece of flat plastic, with an indentation created by a simple slit. It also has a hole, through which you can push the brush handle to hang the set on the wall.

The dustpan and brush set was awarded the Formland Prize 2003

A bowl is no more than a mobile hollow with functional features. An easy task when you think of it. Thinking about the many bowls mankind have already created it would perhaps seem senseless to create a couple more. Especially when they are so simple in design.
To occupy ones mind with the simple things is always a challenge because it creates new experiences from the simplicity. That is of course only when you look for the unique in the simplicity or if you are able to find the extraordinary in the ordinary.
These bowls have been designed with an almost paradox idea in mind: to make the bowls exceptionally simple. To make them "extraordinary" ordinary.

This juice jug, with in-built citrus press, with its narrow spout holds back the pips and the pulp. The cone-shaped grate when placed at an angle is secured by the saucer's round shape. The decanter's round bottom and rolling motions makes its content come to life. The solid grip, which is part of the mug, rests on the table and is comfortable to hold.
