At least that's how it feels for me in the morning when I sit down at the Bølge dining table in my showroom on M.P. Bruun's gade in the heart of Aarhus. Because it hasn't been a straightforward path to anchor the sketches that become precisely those designs that move into your home.

Wabi sabi is a Japanese term that means beauty in imperfection. The ambitions with Pilehus were great, and therefore the dream required a creative approach to materials and interior solutions. I wanted to work with the best materials, make it financially manageable, and at the same time create a unique, cohesive theme throughout the house. It almost sounds impossible. That's why Wabi Sabi Nordic was born on a whim one afternoon in March. I had long saved up for the most beautiful, sandblasted Grigio Bottarga marble, which was intended to welcome guests in the hallway of the house. But then a large tile cracked. Instead of despairing, I saw opportunities: Overnight, the tile was transformed into coat hooks. My business was founded.
