I designed and built this website for cabinetmaker Laura Bergsøe, a one-person studio creating handcrafted tables.
Her previous site followed a generic white layout with rigid, square imagery - an approach that IMHO worked directly against the organic forms and tactile quality of her work.
So my idea was to reframe her work through atmosphere and narrative. I inverted the visual language by moving to a black more mysterious palette, using negative space and unconventional shapes to echo the character of the materials.
Typography was a critical component. I needed to balance restraint with personality. From the outset, we decided the site had to be built in Squarespace, which imposed clear structural constraints. So I challenged myself to design a site that still felt custom and expressive.
Love this!
Thank you Malan. That means a lot. This was a site for a quite small client and budget, so I had to get creative.
Let's keep improving!

A brand exploration.
The idea was to build a visual system around agriculture without relying only on literal imagery.
Generative patterns inspired by wind, weather, and field formations form the core identity. Vibrant colors bring energy, while dithering textures add a slightly organic feel.
Photography can still carry the human side of farming, while the abstract patterns create a flexible system.
