At Home in the Modern World

Jan Andersen and Poul Madsen teamed up to create the Normann Copenhagen brand in 1999 with a vision to make a difference in the design industry. Three years later, they launched the first product, the lamp Norm 69. Within five years more than 38 products followed, as well as collaborations with established design names and new talents from around the world.

  • dustpan broom ole jensen normann

    Dustpan and Brush

    Inspiration can strike at any time. For Ole Jensen, it happened while using a folded newspaper to clean up a mess in his studio. After realizing its usefulness, he substituted his morning read with a thin sheet of poly-propylene, which collects even the most minute grains of dust and grime, and a natural-­bristle beechwood brush. When you’re done cleaning up, simply slide the brush handle through the grommet of the minimalist pan and hang it for easy storage. $25

  • camping chair thomsen jesper normann copenhagen

    Camping Chair

    The cartoon simplicity of these camping chairs belies the craftsmanship that went into their molded and laminated beech-wood construction. Unlike the activity from which they take their name, we recommend keeping these indoors. $3,500

  • Cayoutte Francis Heima Candlestick Normann Copenhagen

    Heima Candlestick

    Dimming the bright overheads and lighting a few candles at the dinner table is a sure way to take the edge off of a harried day. The understated shape of designer Francis Cayouette's cast iron centerpiece will allow the four wax flames you choose truly shine, and you'll be relaxed before you have to blow them out and go to bed. Heima is available in the US from Zinc Details. $67.00

  • 58N Salt and Pepper set

    58° Salt and Pepper Shakers

    These porcelain and cork salt and pepper shakers were named for the latitude where Denmark meets Norway, but designed for the dining table at the intersection of mashed potatoes and green beans. We like the unfussy shape, nice contrast of textures, and—best of all—very clear distinction between with spice is which. Available for purchase from Velocity Art and Design. $44.00

  • mormor gry fager normann copenhagen ceramic

    Mormor Dishware

    Evoking the spirit of a classic kitchen with a pattern inspired by culinary textiles, Mormor consists of a series of ceramic plates, bowls, cups, buttering boards, eggcups, a milk jug, a sugar bowl, and a decanter. The pieces are available in blue and an all-white ribbed pattern. $17.75-278.33
