In my experience, that is where the random results occur that ultimately create my design,” says Christian Flindt, who characterizes himself as inquisitive. Christian Flindt’s work is an exploration of new forms based on the properties of the material, usually materials such as plastic, textile, wood and metal. Christian Flindt does many experiments in a scale of 1:1 to make sure that he always has a firm grasp of the scale and form.
