Description: As a designer I am constantly studying, copying and transforming the everyday objects we surround ourselves with. These objects have an immense influence on how we experience the world and are often taken for granted. For me, it's about exploring the never-ending flow of potential and finding new interpretations hidden in our daily lives. With my graduation project I have created a set of design principles that continuously generate new structures by combining and transforming elements from context, history

With her project “Stages of the ordinary”, Hanna shines a new light on pre-industrial ornamental products, with the intention of sharing their forgotten communicative potential and their functionality.

She present an ongoing project that approaches ornament from multiple perspectives, ranging from decorative to practical. Amongst others, this project has resulted in a contemporary reinterpretation of a coffee pot, that had a coffee pot from the Rijksmuseum (Amsterdam, NL) as a starting point. This new interpretation has both decorative as practical value.
