PLH Design

Jørgen Nyboe and Henning Solfeldt are part

of the industrial design team at PLH, which

was founded in 1977. Both trained at the

Danish Royal Academy of Architecture.

Jørgen Nyboe is a partner at PLH, which

comprises a number of creative people with

an interest in creating spaces and experienc-

es for people in the physical environment.

PLH Design also works with industrial design

for buildings and landscapes in the form of

furniture, signs, sanitary fixtures, lighting and

street equipment, and seeks to further the

genre through a mix of practicality and grace

– the very characteristics of the building

itself. None of their projects or products are

ostentatious. The refreshing thing about

PLH’s work is that they demonstrate continu-

ity and self-confidence, as well as a willing-

ness to constantly renew. PLH has received

several awards over the years for their

architectural works and industrial designs.

LP Charisma King, which was designed in

cooperation with Louis Poulsen, has been

awarded three prizes: The Danish Design

Prize 2001, Denmark, the design award from

the Chicago Athenaeum: Museum of

Architecture & Design, USA, and the

Designer Exhibition award Sydney, Australia.
