Work In Progress: The moodboard represents an important part of our creative process. As we are firm believers in a natural material and colour palette, and celebrate the tactile and haptic qualities of the buildings, spaces and furniture-pieces we design, piecing together a material collection gives us the ability to align on our vision of atmosphere and aesthetics with clients from an early stage. Beautiful materials spark the imagination and let the mind wander, without giving too much away, spoiling the magic. Commercial client, Tel Aviv, 2021.

Though perfectly suited as a lamp, MILK adds more than light to your home. MILK can be placed anywhere and lights up both body and soul and lets the mind drift off to the Zen of a Japanese Onsen. Designed for @andtradition. #normarchitects #softminimalism

The Vaults represent the simplicity and beauty of the architectural detail as individual archetypes. The sculptures are tactile pieces that spark a sense of respect and fascination of the solid stone from which it is made. Vault is made from two different materials: classic Roman Travertine and Moleanos Limestone from Portugal. Each piece has a personal identity and shape and their natural beautiful imperfections make them unique as individual, stand-alone art pieces.

Originally designed to complement the Enclose armchair, but with an identity strong enough to warrant a life of its own, the oak base of the Embody stool rises to meet the soft seat cushion upholstered in textile or leather. Embody can be used as a food stool or an extra seat. Designed for @fogiacollection. #normarchitects #softminimalism

The main living space of the Archipelago House is a double-high room divided in the middle by a large industrial kitchen island.

The design of the house is aimed at combining the functionality for the perfect family life with an architecture of clean lines, light rooms and bright colors as a perfect refuge from the hectic life of the city.

“Our Reprise Chair is a great example of our collaboration process with @lercolanidesign. To create this piece, we combined Ercol’s traditional woodturning and steam bending techniques with a classic Danish design from the ‘50s. The chair’s legs are held in place with a singular, steam-bent piece of wood, paying homage to an Ercol tradition stretching back to 1944. The end result is a graceful, well-constructed chair with spindles for the legs and backrest." - @Frederikwerner

In late-2018 we completed the K House, an exclusive villa resort in the Southern Province of Sri Lanka. The secluded beach front property constitutes the perfect sanctuary for the body and mind, surrounded by lush greenery and breath-taking views, with the architecture effortlessly blending in to the surrounding nature with large openings, soft transitions and natural materials. Completed in collaboration with @aimarchitecture. #normarchitects #softminimalism

Mastering the fine balance between creating a desi

Mastering the fine balance between creating a design that fits seamlessly into a space while retaining a sense of character that makes it stand out, Eave Banquette is a lasting piece of design crafted to the highest standards. Creating a welcoming fusion of sofa and bench to bring a homely aesthetic to new territories, the functional new design is set on slender metal legs for a light expression and easy access to the floor for cleaning.

Combined by elements of traditional Danish cabinet

Combined by elements of traditional Danish cabinetmakers’ furniture – with subtle references to icons such as Børge Mogensen, Hans Bølling and Finn Juhl –, as well as patterns found in classic bamboo constructions and tatami mats, the braid sofas and chair are intended for a lounge-like environment. Their strict architectural structure, with paper braided armrests, makes them ideal both as free-standing furniture, as well as simply placed against a wall. The warm hues and natural nuances found in traditional Japanese architecture are mimicked in a well-balanced mix of wood, textile and paper cord in different tones and nuances. Designed for @ariake_collection in collaboration with @studiomk27. #normarchitects #softminimalism

Crafted with careful consideration for function an

Crafted with careful consideration for function and beauty and perfectly attuned to your everyday needs, the Column Table Lamp is inspired by the bollards used to secure vessels to a jetty. It combines technology and mood-setting style in a striking mushroom shape with modern edge and a natural feel. The cylindrical anodised aluminium light with a bronze finish is fully portable thanks to its cordless design that charges via a USB socket. Designed for @menuspace.

The new Club Chair N-CC01 is designed for the Archipelago House for @karimokucasestudy.
The curved, upholstered back allows free movement and ensures great comfort while the small overhang of the back and armrests make it easy to move the chair around. The back is kept in wood which adds a crisp, exclusive feel to the chair and gives a crafted expression.

The Ark vase is a result of the fascination for architectural elements - staircases, archways and the rhythm and repetitive aspect of classical architecture. It represents the beauty of the architectural detail as individual archetypes, while still maintaining a functional purpose as an accessory. Combining the refinement of local craftsmanship and the raw materiality of thick-walled porcelain with a crystal glass insert, the vase has his own sculptural identity and can be displayed in various ways. Designed for @originmade. #softminimalism #normarchitects

The PH House presents an idyllic and warm setting

The PH House presents an idyllic and warm setting in tranquil environments. Located outside of Copenhagen, far from urbanization and everyday chaos, the house inspires a slowed pace, providing the framework for the perfect family life. The thoughtful, tactile interior with classic parquet floors, built-in oak cabinets, and a bespoke oak kitchen, is delicately balanced between classic and contemporary design and the furniture pieces, recently designed for @karimokucasestudy, contribute to the airy and harmonious atmosphere, bathed in natural daylight.

Beosound Stage, the result of our latest collabora

Beosound Stage, the result of our latest collaboration with @bangolufsen, features clean geometric shapes and natural materials to create a product that beautifully integrates into the home. The natural and bronze tone frames are made from a single piece of forged aluminium, resulting in no visible seams. The smoked oak version features traditionally crafted dovetail joints, a detail typically seen in fine Scandinavian cabinetry. Image by @jonasbjerrepoulsen. #normarchitects #softminimalism

Designed for the Archipelago House case for Karimo

Designed for the Archipelago House case for Karimoku Case Study, the shape of the pendant mimics the architecture of the building, that with its high and triangular shaped roof construction, needs light being spread not only down, but also up and to the sides. The bottom of the lamp has been covered with a single piece of Washi paper, which is cleverly held in place by a few magnets, making it easy to disassemble it, should you need to change the bulb. The bottom furthermore acts as a screen, hiding the lightsource and creating a warm and indirect light.

The thirty-meter-long pavilion house in Southern E

The thirty-meter-long pavilion house in Southern Europe is designed as a home to a special breed of horses — Italian Ferraris. The pavilion is situated on a beautiful hillside overlooking the sea, and is designed as an addition to the home of a passionate collector of the Italian supercars. The house is inspired by traditional wooden stables —used for actual horses—but translated into a more sleek and contemporary adaption, still with solid, honest and exposed wooden constructions inside out. Completed in 2015. #normarchitects #softminimalism

In our dedication to the haptic qualities in space

In our dedication to the haptic qualities in spaces and furniture, we look to nature for inspiration; for that which is durable and timeless; for aesthetics that please and stimulate our senses—our vision, our touch. For aesthetics and materials that patinate and possess timeless beauty. Styling by @pernille.vest. Image by @jonasbjerrepoulsen.

Generously sized, the multi-purpose Ribbon Basket

Generously sized, the multi-purpose Ribbon Basket is a fusion of simple, Japanese aesthetics and mid-century modern design. It is crafted from powder coated metal, precision cut in rhythmic repetitions that give the modern storage solution a traditionalist feel. A gently rounded lip functions as a handle, making it easy to carry the basket from room to room, and the base is cushioned with tonal leather for an exclusive finish. Silicone feet elevate the design from the floor, as well as providing additional stability and protection. Use the Ribbon Basket to add instant graphic appeal to a room, as a practical and decorative home for everyday objects. Designed for @menuspace.

The Domus Chair originally designed by Alf Svensso

The Domus Chair originally designed by Alf Svensson was revitalized in 2020 as a part of the @DUX_official Domus Collection. It was restored to the range after browsing through the archive of old classics during a previous collaborative project. The Domus collection includes the revitalized Domus Chair Wood with matching footstool, Domus Chair Steel and Domus table. The Domus Chair Steel has a small footprint, making it easy to position in a room. It has a black lacquered steel frame and the cushions, made of cold cured foam to ensure long-term comfort and performance, are available in leather or fabric, and sit on a classic braiding of tanned leather.
