Artist Brown Occasional Table 101 Copenhagen

Kristian Sofus Hansen & Tommy Hyldahl

Kristian Sofus Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl are a Danish designer duo who have been creating for the NORR11 and 101 Copenhagen brands since 2015. Hansen, a graduate of the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and the Kyoto Institute of Technology, combines Scandinavian simplicity with the Japanese Wabi-Sabi aesthetic, creating minimalist, sculptural forms. Hyldahl, the founder of both brands, draws on his experience in fashion and trend analysis, introducing bold, modern concepts. Their joint designs, such as the Hippo chair or the Drop lamp, are characterized by harmony of form and function, and are inspired by brutalist architecture and Japanese culture.
