By Nord

Danish design has throughout the years created several design icons. Simplicity, functionality and skilled manufacturing are the characteristics of Danish design, which in the shapes of e.g. furniture and home accessories are appreciated all over the world. By nord Copenhagen was founded in 2008 by Hanne Berzant. They design and produce timeless home accessories of high quality. As the Danish two star Michelin restaurant Noma, we are inspired by the diversity of the raw yet beautiful Nordic nature, where the rough and gentle meet. At By nord they believe in sustainable design, where beauty and functionality are supported by extended use of organic materials and accountability in production. This is your guarantee for unique design products, which respect the nature that surrounds us. Nature is a force that not only can be humbling to meet when unprepared, but also has the ability to evoke strong feelings when one is confronted by breathtaking scenery and sudden appearances by the animals and humans able to live in the wild. For me as a designer nature and the people that have chosen to live of the land are inexhaustible sources of inspiration. When we travel the Nordic region learning about its nature, traditional handicrafts, and collecting original images from remote places in among others Greenland, Iceland and the deep forests of Sweden and Finland, we are always taken aback by the wonders of nature.
