I am Amos, born in Ghana 1987. I spent most of my life in Faroe Islands and studied in Denmark, Italy, Thailand and Faroe Islands.
9
At the age of 10 was when I decided to become a sort of carpenter, making my own furnitures. Three years later, finding myself in the Faroe Islands, my dream came through. Found myself many times, where I´ll spend many hours working on wood trying to create something different. At school I´ll take any course related to wood or design. The undying love for creating something unique has always been in me. My passion for wood and design grew and I always knew this was what I wanted to do and so I chose to pursue my dreams. Super yachts, fast cars, skyscrapers, their sleek, exotic shapes and curves mesmerize me. This interest led me studying Boat building, Interior & product design. To this day, my passion still stands. Through practices and studies, exchanging ideas with experts, I aim to become a world-class designer. As an interest, I focus on customized design where every piece is unique and personal to its customer. The combination of fiberglass and wood is indescribable and can be seen in many of my design. Aesthetics beauty and good functionality are key to my projects. Resume

MARIA
16 Concept of MARIA All furnitures design for the collection were inspired by a lady name Maria. Maria who loves reading and wanted a furniture where its possible to read with a light close by without having to move far for switching on and off. The concept became a type of furniture modules which are freely adjustable with storages for books and other items. These furnitures can also be used in places such as waiting areas and also functions as a space divider due to its adjustable forms.
