MANIFESTO<br />

Our collections go from north to south.<br />

Our design philosophy is not guided by<br />

stringent rules, strict color pallets and<br />

a fixed set of geometric shapes. Our<br />

products are based on what we like,<br />

our travels, interactions and moods.<br />

Our favorite designs tend to be created<br />

by nice people and we believe that the<br />

most talented can adapt while still<br />

maintaining their artistic touch. They<br />

can see the beauty in all things. We<br />

work with all materials, nationalities,<br />

trends, and time periods. We take a<br />

novel approach to interior design.<br />

We are anything but grey walls<br />

and minimalists.<br />

We are <strong>Lucie</strong> Kaas.

With an uncanny talent for carving objects<br />

out of wood and a strong sense for long-lasting<br />

design, Th. Skjøde Knudsen (1927-2007)<br />

represents Danish wood design at its best. His<br />

versatile designs are characterized as being<br />

simple yet charming. The precise craftsmanship<br />

underlines his talent for creating design<br />

objects with only a few details.

GRO<br />

GRO is a multifunctional plant holder<br />

designed by Nordvink. It functions<br />

as both a plant holder but also<br />

as a small green house allowing<br />

for seeds to sprout and plants to<br />

grow. The glass bottom also serves<br />

as a design conscious method to<br />

give plants nourishment, fitting<br />

perfectly into the planter’s bottom<br />

with built-in water holes. GRO takes<br />

green living to a new level with its<br />

functionality and design.<br />

NORDVINK<br />

The design duo behind GRO<br />

Nordvink are a design duo comprised of Anne<br />

Nørbjerg and Sanne Kyed. The pair hold a degree in<br />

product design from the Aarhus School of Architecture<br />

in Denmark. In 2012, they won the Danish<br />

FSC Design Award for the best sustainable and<br />

commercial product, a recognition which kicked off<br />

their career. In a short period of time they have received<br />

international attention for their work which<br />

can be characterized as functional design.

“We find great inspiration in studying<br />

behaviors and how they have an influence<br />

over how we live. Can we change<br />

or enhance these behaviors through<br />

design? This is always an interesting<br />

question for us.”<br />

The glass bottom was<br />

really a thoughtful addition to<br />

most functional part of the<br />

product.<br />

the design?<br />

We have always loved to create<br />

and come up with new ideas,<br />

and being a designer allows you<br />

to do just that. We are solution<br />

oriented people, so being a<br />

designer is a perfect fit because<br />

at the end of the day you are to<br />

understand people and their<br />

needs and to come up with<br />

answers for these.<br />

Where do you find inspiration?<br />

The most inspirational impulses<br />

are the ones we get from our<br />

tions. We find great inspiration<br />

in studying behaviors and how<br />

they have an influence over how<br />

we live. Can we change or enhance<br />

these behaviors through<br />

design? This is always an<br />

interesting question for us. We<br />

build ideas by observing target<br />

groups and finding solutions to<br />

their everyday challenges.<br />

What was your inspiration<br />

behind GRO?<br />

We wanted to create a multifunctional<br />

plant holder that<br />

sprout and plants to grow. The<br />

design behind GRO is a classic<br />

example of our attempt to positively<br />

influence everyday situations.<br />

Not only does the plant<br />

holder have aesthetic details,<br />

but it is also practical. Generally<br />

plant holders are either closed<br />

in the bottom – which works<br />

against the plants livelihood, or<br />

there are holes in the bottom<br />

- which results in short-cut<br />

solutions to catch water falling<br />

through the planter. In addition<br />

to this, when plant holders are<br />

not being used, many people<br />

GRO is made of ceramic and<br />

mouth-blown glass, which we<br />

think is a harmonious combination<br />

between light and heavy.<br />

The ceramic and glass are<br />

complementary tone in tone<br />

colors but at the same time<br />

the combination of materials<br />

creates a contrast between<br />

the transparent glass and the<br />

matte ceramic. Both ceramic<br />

and glass are perfect combinations<br />

for plants, the ceramic is<br />

practical, while the glass adds<br />

function.<br />

ERAT<br />

Italian design traditions meet everyday<br />

functionality with the ERAT collection<br />

designed by Alberto Bellamoli.<br />

Alberto has his roots in Grezzana, a<br />

small village in Northern Italy, where<br />

terrazzo has been produced for<br />

centuries by local artisans. Locally<br />

referred to as ‘the poor man’s marble’,<br />

terrazzo is a composite material<br />

made of scraps of marble, pigment,<br />

and marble dust cemented together.<br />

The stones used in the collection<br />

have been handpicked by Alberto.<br />

With the ERAT collection, terrazzo is<br />

taken out of its traditional form and<br />

reinvented for everyday use.<br />

“I’m not good at just sitting at a<br />

desk – I need to get up and get<br />

hands-on experience.”<br />

ALBERTO<br />

BELLAMOLI<br />

The designer behind ERAT<br />

After graduating with a bachelor degree from ‘Politecnico<br />

di Milano’, Alberto moved to Denmark to<br />

follow his passion for industrial design. He holds a<br />

master’s degree from the Design School in Kolding<br />

and during his education he interned at designer<br />

Cecilie Manz’s studio and at Normann Copenhagen.<br />

He has participated at several interior fairs in Europe<br />

including the IMM fair in Cologne where he was<br />

nominated within the ‘Pure Talents Contest <strong>2017</strong>’<br />

with his collection Collecta. Alberto runs the<br />

Bellamoli Studio in Kolding, Denmark.<br />

Why did you become a<br />

designer?<br />

I’m a curious person and I always<br />

want to know more, learn<br />

more and explore more. Being a<br />

designer allows me to be curious<br />

when working with skilled<br />

artisans, different technologies<br />

and expanding my knowledge.<br />

I’m not good at just sitting at a<br />

desk – I need to get up and get<br />

hands-on experience with for<br />

example terrazzo.<br />

Where do you find inspiration?<br />

One of my biggest sources of<br />

inspiration is my Italian surroundings.<br />

The nature, colors,<br />

and stones native to the village<br />

Grezzana where I come from,<br />

have had an impact on me. I’m<br />

especially inspired when going<br />

on terrazzo workshops, doing<br />

samples and experimenting<br />

with different combinations and<br />

mixtures. Basically, I need to get<br />

my hands dirty in order to see<br />

and feel the material and experience<br />

the process on my own.<br />

To me, designing terrazzo is a<br />

process of true Italian craftsmanship<br />

and working with such<br />

skilled local artisans is in itself<br />

an inspirational process.

The designer behind Macaroon<br />

Christian Troels holds a master’s degree in industrial<br />

design from the Kolding School of Design<br />

in Denmark. In 2013, he established the studio,<br />

Christian Troels Product Design, where he develops<br />

a wide variation of products - from LEGO, to<br />

furniture and lamps. In 2014, he won the award<br />

‘Lamp of the Year’ at the Danish Design Awards<br />

for his Mutatio lamp for Le Klint. Christian Troels<br />

masters both the conceptual and technical aspects<br />

of the design process. His work philosophy<br />

is guided by a playful approach when designing<br />

products that stand out in a crowd.

was therefore natural to me<br />

because it was based on my<br />

thirst for creation. My curiosity<br />

for learning new aspects<br />

about different materials and<br />

textures are the things I love<br />

as a designer. If I don’t create<br />

something, I become restless.<br />

where creativity kicks in. At<br />

the same time this is also the<br />

difficult part of the process, because<br />

when a product is clearly<br />

defined, I have to begin cutting<br />

down some of my ideas and<br />

focus in a specific direction.<br />
