Christian is a gifted design talent who has won numerous prestigious prizes, amongst them the renowned Finn Juhl design prize (there is no family connection). He feels that part of his strength as a furniture designer stems from his background in carpentry. For mindo, Christian used innovative 3D-knit, a fabric made from recycled bottles to create the unique mindo 114 chairs. Central to Christian’s design philosophy is the aim that his furniture serves a purpose and is functional, regardless of its sculptural aesthetic.
