Hampus Penttinen

My background is in drawing, woodcraft, marlinespike seamanship, theatre and music. My wish is to connect as many of these as I possibly can in what I do. What brings me joy is function and general awesomeness. I want to be able to move freely both between different branches of design and different styles within them. I love making sense to people.

"Trojeborgen"

Proposal for play sculpture at Stockholms Länsmuseum. The shape was inspired by stone and turf labyrinths, so called Troytowns, common along the coasts of northern Europe. The walls was modelled such so they could act as seats at different heights, forming a kind of amphitheatre. The thought was to combine a dynamic playground with a functional gathering place.
