Multi-occupancy boxes

Villa by the Lake Mälaren

Sköna Hem nr 3 2007
”Architect Charlotte Elsner’s mirror storage has everything that you could wish from a designed product – dual function, flexibility and aesthetic heights. 170 cm high this is a full body mirror to hang on the wall. Behind the sliding part with mirror there is a 7 cm deep storage for hall gadgets, or things in the bathroom, the bedroom or wherever you want. The interior is mobile and on the metal back of the inside you attach the magnetic hooks. Of course Multimirror is reversible so that you can open it to the right or to the left.”
Surgical Clinic
During my employment at Tengbom I was the project architect for the rebuilding of an surgical clinic at Stockholm South General Hospital. The rebuilding included new and technically more advanced equipment for the new surgery room and related facilities. In the surgery area a new type of lighting technology was used, which is why the project was presented in the magazine “Ljuskultur”.

Morkullan
The restoration and rebuilding of the main entrance and common areas of a housing in central Stockholm.

The Environmental Technology Center of Hammarby Sjöstad
During my employment at Tengbom I was the operationally responsible project architect for an information centre built as a joint venture by the Stockholm Water Authority, the City Planning and Development Administration and Fortum. The building is complete with environmental technology such as fuel cells, solar cells and a double-glazed façade.
Hotel

Meander
In the year 2000 a design-contest was arranged by the Swedish Furniture Centre in order to create a bridge between young designers and some established producers of furniture. This sofa-table did not offer an opportunity for me to work with any of the participating producers, but I received the 5th prize in the contest.
Stools with balls
These stools, and benches, were the result of a one week course in furniture design at the school of architecture. In the 90-ties I produced about 20 of these stools on my own and they were sold in design-shops, among them Plan 1. A few bar-stools were used in the furnishing of the Globe Hotel in Stockholm.
The comfortable seats of these stools are based on a frame with a seat composed of wooden balls. The balls, dependent on the pressure of the body on the seat, and relatively independently of each other, sink into an elastic material. Thus active sitting will stimulate the circulation of the blood – an effect which has however not yet been medically tested.
