Møbel Copenhagen and Studio David Thulstrup have teamed up on a simple and beautiful furniture collection that answers complex design problems 🪑
Their founder, Sara Agersborg, and Creative Brand Manager, Marta Pavan, tell me over video link how they’ve even been holding virtual work drinks on Friday evenings. Cooperation – whether virtual or not – is intrinsic to the company’s success. Their most recent collaboration, with designer, saw them make three variations on a pair of side tables.
Agersborg tells me about Møbel Copenhagen’s expansion in 2016, when she decided who would work best to expand their vision. “David Thulstrup,” she explains, “was a first choice. He, like us, is striving for something unique yet clearly Danish.” ‘The Pair’, unveiled this February at the Stockholm Design Week, has been in the works since 2017. Becoming so complicated, Agersborg says she was often told to give up, but she and Thulstrup persevered by embracing compromise. One of their major compromises, Agersborg explains, was with colour. Originally intended for multiple variations, cost made that impractical, and they were forced to narrow it down to five shades.
Describing his style as ‘modern simplicity’, David Thulstrup has completed an international portfolio of residences, restaurants and hotels, including the newly relocated Noma restaurant, but admits this collaboration was challenging. Agersborg says Møbel Copenhagen couldn’t manage without cooperation, but she insists it’s up to companies to find a balance. “If you keep getting designers in,” she explains, “your identity will change.
