Behind every single design there is a beautiful and creative mind. That is why we collaborate with a brilliant stable of world-renowned designers – from upcoming, vibrant talents to established design studios including more than 50 talented individuals from 19 countries around the world. And regardless of where they live and breathe, they all share the same passion for Scandinavian design, natural materials, and beautiful sustainable creations.

Studio Nooi was founded by Giulia Pesce and Ruggero Bastita who met while studying and working as designers in Denmark.
Nooi derives from the Italian word “noi”, meaning “us” – the idea being that design is never an individual act but rather a collaborative process, involving designers, companies, users, artisans, and technicians.
They have already contributed an array of stunning designs to our collection, from beautiful dining tables to stylish sun loungers, and we can't wait to see what they dream up next.
The renowned design duo Glismand & Rüdiger come from Denmark – an origin that is clearly expressed in their design language.

Inspired by Scandinavian nature and traditional materials, they design furniture that is based on simplicity, excellent craftsmanship and honest materials.
“We have a shared passion for Scandinavian design and natural materials. Sustainability is at the core of all our new designs. Right from the initial sketch to the final design, because the most important thing for us is to create beautiful designs that can survive different trends and generations.”

Our goal is to create subtle and practical products you can relate to. We love it when a design feels simple and yet complete, and where nothing more can be done or added. We focus on a single idea in the design process that supports our process as a whole, and we draw our inspiration from different materials and techniques.
On an aesthetic level, we are drawn to two-dimensional, graphic forms and their clean expression, and this is the aesthetic quality and clarity we try to achieve in our designs. For us, good design is more than a specific idiom or design – it is also about designing products that create value for the user for a very long time.
We believe that design, as much as art, should be integrated into everyday life. A great design should be consistent and cohesive; it should not only fulfill form and functionality, but also create experiences and evoke emotions among the users.

Our goal is to create simple yet original designs that solve a complex problem in an innovative and functional way. It’s essential that techniques, materials and aesthetics come together, and we believe great design should challenge the conventional and mundane.
With an honest approach to design, we strive to create designs that push your boundaries and create value in your everyday life. We love challenging our creative and methodological approach in order to create products and furniture that make sense and possess great personality. A product design should awaken your curiosity and even make you smile. We are always ready for giving you our say on tomorrow's designs.
My designs are characterized through fine structures, certain transparencies and subtle details adapted in pure shapes. My designs aim towards an aesthetic synergy of material and form. I believe that a decorative element should walk hand in hand with a useful purpose. For me, function and aesthetic are a unified whole.

To me, design has to make sense. Shape, colour and choice of materials have to add up and make sense to each and every single design. Good design is functional, beautiful and easy to understand.
We believe our products are sober-looking, formally balanced and attractive. We love to lavish attention on details as we believe that the quality of products is often judged by the quality of their details. We try to make products with clean lines, yet warm and attractive for the public.
When we design, we simply want to create seductive products we’d love to have in our own homes. We have special concern for architecture and crafts which are elements that inspire us beyond the trends of the moment.
