AC Design

Since 2001, I have been crafting Sami-style jewellery inspired by
traditional Sami craftsmanship. Each piece is handcrafted by me in Sweden with
love and care. My work respectfully draws inspiration from Nordic heritage,
offering elegant, wearable art for everyday life as well as special occasions.
Designed to be worn by both men and women.

Collaborations

Over the years, I have collaborated with retailers and stores around the
world, including Japan, the United States, Switzerland, the United Kingdom,
Denmark, Germany, Poland, and Sweden and continue to work internationally.

Selected work

An inquiry from Swedish designer Monica Förster led to an exciting
collaboration.
I was commissioned to embroider five different pewter thread patterns on leather
for two chairs and three round stools. The pieces were later exhibited at
Tessinska Palace in Stockholm during the Stockholm Furniture Fair, and
subsequently shown at exhibitions across Europe.

If you would like to take a closer look at the chairs, you can find them
