The project is named after Carl Malmstrem, a Swedish furniture and interior designer who set up the Carl Malmsten Workshop in 1930, which later became a department at the Linköpings University.

In order to verify the work process, I have tried to answer to various philosophical choices, choice of materials, choice of cultural values and choices in life that I have as a human being.
