His teaching spans History of Style, Design History, and Historic Furniture Archetypes, with a strong emphasis on material knowledge, craft traditions, the historical evolution of the furniture professions, and the long temporal perspective of making.
His multidisciplinary background bridges historic craft techniques, furniture conservation, digital modelling, and architectural thinking, enabling him to teach design across scales—from material detail and construction logic to spatial systems and cultural contexts. He teaches across all three Malmstens programmes: Furniture Design, Cabinetmaking, and Upholstery.
Learning from the past and integrating historical craft knowledge into contemporary design education is central to his pedagogy. Historic practices are not treated as static references, but as active repositories of innovation, material intelligence, and sustainable thinking. Understanding how objects were made, used, repaired, and valued over time is essential for developing a resilient furniture culture and a sustainable design education for the future.
