“Over the years, I have witnessed Normann Copenhagen grow

from a small Danish design brand and shop to an international

design company making good design accessible to a large audience,

but also opening up for new exciting creative collaborations

like the experimental Normann x Brask Art Collection and the

collaboration with Copenhagen’s International Documentary Film

Festival CPH:DOX. I like the fact that Normann Copenhagen

wants more than to “just create another design object”, like when

they work with objects that integrate art into the practice of

everyday life.”

“We met Jan Andersen in connection with a dinner held by

Blickfang, and we were on the same wavelength from the moment

we sat down at the table. It was a very special table design with a

built-in wine cooler and, let me put it this way; we sat very close

to that wine cooler. After a tipsy night, we agreed that we had

to find a project to do together one day. A couple of years went

by and then the right idea was there. At Normann Copenhagen,

there is room for differences, and it is never boring. Even though

Normann Copenhagen has become a major international brand,

one still clearly senses the entrepreneurial spirit.”

Table Tableau design concepts.

“Normann Copenhagen was one of the

first contemporary Danish

design brands to conquer the world and one of the first brands to

produce craft items with great success. The craft artists are not

interested in trends, but are skilled makers that are quality- and

material-based. They are dedicated to their material and create

elaborate objects that transcend the test of time. Virtually all of

the things that craft artists such as Ole Jensen and Claydies have

created for Normann Copenhagen still stand today and several

of them have been included in museums worldwide.”
