A meeting between the North and the East
The design of 101 Copenhagen is firmly rooted in the Scandinavian soil and nourished byJapanese minimalist aesthetics. Sharing an emphasis on quality materials, techniques, and traditions, the meeting between the North and the East is notable in the holistic collections of 101 Copenhagen.
The design approach is dynamic and characterised by freedom of expression - creating unique and timeless pieces without compromising playfulness and individuality.
About 101 Copenhagen
An attention to detail and a shared sense of aesthetics drive the two main designers of 101 Copenhagen, Tommy Hyldahl and Kristian Sofus Hansen. Merging their backgrounds and experiences from the fashion industry, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and travels in Japan, respectively, a narrative of minimalist, sculptural, and conceptual design is evident throughout the collections.
Translating and transforming the simplistic inspiration from Japan in a Scandinavian context is all about honouring quality, heritage, and materiality while never seizing to compromise on form and function.
Trained as an architect, the third designer, Nicolaj Nøddesbo, adds knowledge on innovative light solutions and timeless novelties to the 101 Copenhagen collections.
101 Copenhagen is a curated selection of tactile, bold objects standing out in a crowd and gathering as a whole.
