The story of

Normann

Copenhagen

The story of Normann Copenhagen began in a small

provincial town in Denmark’s Northeast Zealand where two

young locals, Jan Andersen and Poul Madsen, crossed paths

and found common ground in their love for design and their

indomitable go-ahead spirit. They decided to join forces and

create a shared business with interior design products as the

focal point.

Since the inception, Jan and Poul have followed their heart’s

desire in terms of what and who they worked with, resulting

in a vibrant variety of design products by renowned designers

as well as up-and-coming talents. While working from the

foundation of the Danish design heritage, they turn the

chapter towards a modern lifestyle, pioneering a new heyday

in Danish design and positioning Normann Copenhagen

among the leading Danish design companies.

The collections are defined by clean lines with a twist and

crafted with an emphasis on quality and endurance. Driven

by creative curiosity, the brand draws on influences from the

realms of art, fashion and culture, with an affinity for the

bold and out of the ordinary. The products are sold in more

than 80 countries throughout the world and have collected

more than 80 design awards along the way. Still, Normann

Copenhagen remains under the ownership and direction

of its founders, uniting its global outlook with a familiar

closeness and a design philosophy of making every space

feel like home.
