EBB & FLOW: Crafted Lighting That Reflects Personality and Purpose
EBB & FLOW is a brand of liberation and meaningful interior design. We eschew fashion trends in favor of bespoke lighting that adds character and personality to any space. Our collection ranges from simplistic elegance to sculptural statements, including table and floor lamps, wall lamps, pendants, ceiling/wall/surface lamps, and fabric lampshades made by hand from glass, crystal, brass, and luxurious fabrics.
Who found Otto?
This was the name of EBB & FLOW founder and creative designer Susanne Nielsen’s first company. After spending 16 years in London, UK, working as a sales agent for a renowned Danish interior company, Susanne returned to Aalborg, Denmark’s fourth-largest city.
She then founded “Who Found Otto?”, named after her cat and best friend. Susanne traveled to Eastern European countries to buy furniture and interior design objects to sell in Denmark.
It was during this journey that EBB & FLOW began to take shape. By transforming old glass vases and wine balloons into pendants, Susanne discovered a market for glass pendants. Soon, the first drawings and samples were created, leading to the official founding of EBB & FLOW in 2009.
The Brand EBB & FLOW:
EBB & FLOW symbolises more than the movement of the tide; it reflects life's rhythm. Everything recedes and returns, with nothing remaining static. Today, EBB & FLOW boasts a wide range of award-winning Danish designs, all crafted by Founder and Designer Susanne Nielsen. Inspired by perfume bottles, jewelry, and British antique markets, Susanne focuses on organic shapes, quality raw materials, and meticulous detail.

The Team:
The EBB & FLOW office is based in the countryside surrounding Svenstrup J., Denmark, just south of Denmark's fourth-largest city, Aalborg. The office is in the childhood home of founder and designer Susanne Nielsen. EBB & FLOW consists of a minor, dedicated team with a mission to bring sophisticated lighting designs to people worldwide, adding personality to both private homes and professional spaces. To achieve this, we work closely with our sales agents and distributors, and in partnerships with interior designers and architects. Our warehouse is located in the north of Denmark, in Hjørring. All lamps are carefully handcrafted and undergo rigorous quality control before dispatch.
