Notes from the work.
Objects. Colour. Thoughts. Doubts. Decisions. Random.
Ongoing.

Pots and circles
The colour collection is getting a life 1:1.
In pots and circles. In all the POP X colours.
A set of colours.
Repeated as objects.
As literal as it can be.
Shop and POP X things
I’ve been selling my preloved things on Vinted and DBA lately.
Vinted seems a lot more frictionless.
Made me think I want my own shop.
No emails back and forth.
No payment links.
See it. Want it. Buy it.
So I’ve started building one.
Which made me realise: I want somewhere for more POP X things to exist.
Works, paint pots, kits, knick-knacks.
Things I haven’t thought of yet.
My head is exploding with ideas.
Changing my mind
The Log is starting to feel like something I have to keep up with.
Fill the gaps. Record the changes. Be a straight A student.
I’d rather paint.
Mirror test
Tested paint on mirror.
Stripes.
Technically, not there.
Bought more mirrors to test again.
Another surface
Old headboard, leftover from the move.
Thought: paint on it.
No plan. Just an impulse.
The paperwork caught up
POP X was still officially registered under interior design.
A leftover from an earlier version of the business.
Changed it to visual artistic creation.
Paperwork caught up.
First-ish day
First-ish day in the studio.
Painted a little.
Did some admin.
Enjoyment took place.
Colours on the wall
Doors on the cabinets.
Colours on the wall.
Been picturing that wall for months.
There it was.
Moving day 2/2
Christianshavn is empty.
A lot changed in those rooms.
A lot started there too.
Colours.
Objects.
POP X STUDIO, really.
Grateful for that place and the friends we met there.
The moving truck took the big load to Vesterbro.
The green table moved into the studio.
Office chair too.
A new room.
My own room.
First things first
The green table came in first.
And blocks and sticks.
Disco and stripes.
Essentials.
Moving day 1/2
Last day at the harbour.
Got the keys to the new place.
First load went over in a trailer.
Empty rooms. White.
Tomorrow the moving truck comes.
Under the hood
Had ChatGPT do an SEO check-up on the site.
Updated recommended metadata.
Added a direct route to available objects on the front page.
Connected Google Search Console.
Found out the Letter signup on the front page wasn’t working. Fixed that too.
In between the work work.
Three formats for sharing
Testing three different post formats for objects on @popxstudio.dk.
One reel.
One object card.
One context look.
Initial thought was to keep the three together in the grid. Too tidy. Works better mixed.
Same object.
Different views.
Will continue testing with new objects after the move.
One day left.
Not that I’m counting.
Let go
Made four Sticks for (unofficial) 3daysofdesign.
I never thought of them as objects that would leave the studio.
They were made for show.
One isn’t even varnished.
Today I changed my mind.
I’ll finish them.
Put them out there.
(After the move)
I can’t keep incubating everything I make.
What else do I have lying around?
