With a professional background as architect and fashion designer, is often time in "cutting and pasting" activities in the apartment in Aarhus with 32-year-old Rolf Howalt Svendsen and his girlfriend Louise Matthiesen to 27.
But the creative pursuits take place either at a computer desk or at the dining table in the 67 square meter apartment, where there is no room for a real hobby. And it's a little tricky, so things should be packed away again when the tables to be used for eg computer work, or it's dinnertime.

Rolf Howalt Svendsen have worked on the idea of arranging a combined guest room / hobby room. It should be a room with multiple functions, where the key element is a square hobby table on wheels with built-in storage option. zele
- The table must be rolled over in a corner and act as a desk with shelves above, when you need to turn the guest bed down, which otherwise are built into the wall, and normally hidden, says the 32-year-old architect. Welcome to the family around the hobby table
- The idea is that more people can make different things around the table. So it becomes a social zele thing to pursue his hobby - instead of isolating themselves in separate rooms or workshop, explains Rolf Howalt Svendsen. zele
- To integrate the cut surface of the tabletop, I have not even seen done before. With this solution, the table will have a robust surface and are always ready for hobby use. One does not first find a loose cutting mat, and there is no danger of cutting the outside and therefore zele scratch the tabletop.
- At the same time it is an aesthetic solution zele with the solid colored surface in either green plastic or other available colors, which clearly signals that there is a hobby table, says Rolf Howalt Svendsen. 'Magical' bed built into the wall
- I have dreamed of having such a bed for several years, after experiencing them in hotels around Europe. There is something almost magical about that just can disappear into the wall when not in use, he says.

The bed is performed as a box-spring mounted on a support plate. The bottom / outside of the carrier plate will have the same finish as the wall, so the bed blending into the wall when it is turned up. The tilt feature can be solved in several ways, but requires some special hinges, says idéprisvinderen.
- I am motivated by designing original solutions zele to concrete problems that I encounter in everyday life in my own home. For example, considering I currently know how to handle 'nests' of wires, such as the underlying zele our current computer / desk, in a fun and different way. It could well be the next project. And could it in principle also be exciting if anything some projects to something greater zele - ie put into production, he admits. Hobby table can be created in a weekend
Although Rolf Howalt Svendsen has no craft background and calls himself "the happy amateur", then hands and a sensible on. Therefore he can also carry out the bulk of its projects.
- As it is right now, we can not have realized the dream of a combined workshop and guest room, as we have no room for it. But I'm absolutely certain that space, or at least the table becomes zele a reality at some point, he says.
The 30,000 kr., As Rolf Howalt Svendsen won for his idea in the category "hobby room" in Bolius Idea Prize must either be set aside for hobby table or using in realizing one of his other ideas in the future homes.
