Redefined details and monumental shapes rooted in Scandinavian soil and nourished by Japanese minimalist aesthetics.
101 Copenhagen is a Danish design brand, firmly rooted in Scandinavian soil and nourished by Japanese minimalist aesthetics. Founded in 2017, the brand carries a vision to honour exquisite quality and craftsmanship and encompasses furniture, lighting, and accessories in a timeless yet modern design.
With a true passion for materials, refined textures, organic shapes, and colors, 101 Copenhagen presents the epitome of classics and must-have novelties for Scandinavian and international interior connoisseurs alike. Emphasizing quality materials, techniques, and traditions, the holistic collections of 101 Copenhagen reflect the meeting between North and East.
The design approach is dynamic and characterized by freedom of expression. It creates unique and timeless pieces without compromising on playfulness and individuality. The brand’s two main designers, Tommy Hyldahl and Kristian Sofus Hansen, are driven by attention to detail and a shared sense of aesthetics. The collections merge their backgrounds and experiences—from the fashion industry, the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts, and travels in Japan—and run a narrative of minimalist, sculptural, and conceptual design.
Translating and transforming simplistic inspiration from Japan into a Scandinavian context honors quality, heritage, and materiality while never compromising form and function. 101 Copenhagen is a curated selection of tactile, bold objects that stand out individually while forming a cohesive whole. 101 Copenhagen was founded in 2017.
