Maria Berntsen
With her own design studio in Copenhagen, Maria Berntsen has since 1992
focused on architecture and design. Maria Berntsen is a well-established
name in the design industry and has over the years collaborated with a wide
range of Danish and international companies, where her extensive experience
has resulted in many successful designs.
“At the start of a new project, I look for an idea with nerve, functionality
and identity. By modelling and visualizing, I test the idea, how it might be
used, and its presence.
Good design communicates and establishes a dialogue with the receiver.
Design is not just about functionality – it is as much about the emotional
connection and impact. To me, success is when my design
brings joy in the everyday lives of people”
