Details redefined through Scandinavian heritage, shaped by Japanese minimalist aesthetics and monumental forms.
101 Copenhagen is a Danish design brand rooted in the Scandinavian design tradition and enriched by the refined simplicity of Japanese minimalism. Founded in 2017, the brand presents furniture, lighting and accessories that honour superior quality and craftsmanship, offering a design language that is both timeless and distinctly modern.
Driven by a genuine passion for materials, 101 Copenhagen is defined by refined textures, organic forms and nuanced colours. The brand represents the essence of both classics and essential innovations, appealing to Scandinavian and international interior enthusiasts alike.
With a shared emphasis on quality materials, techniques and traditions, the meeting of North and East is clearly reflected across the brand’s holistic collections. This fusion results in sculptural pieces that balance heritage, material value and contemporary aesthetics.
The design approach is dynamic and defined by freedom of expression, aiming to create original and timeless pieces without compromising on playfulness and individuality. The meticulous attention to detail and cohesive aesthetic vision are shaped by the brand’s two main designers, Tommy Hyldahl and Kristian Sofus Hansen.
Drawing inspiration from the fashion world, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and their travels in Japan, the designers translate a minimalist, sculptural and conceptual design narrative into every collection.
The reinterpretation of Japanese-inspired pure forms within a Scandinavian context honours quality, heritage and material integrity while maintaining a perfect balance between form and function. 101 Copenhagen is a curated universe of tactile and bold objects that stand out individually yet create a strong and harmonious whole.
