“As a designer I live through visual impressions. A design object is to me like a picture to be developed
– the creative vision is captured mostly through the senses. I regard the design process as the
individual filter which I use when defining a physical form or object for this vision” – Mikal Harrsen.
With more than two decades of experience as an independent designer Mikal Harrsen has gained
solid know-how, and is recipient of several international design awards:
Red Dot Award
