Kristian is a Danish designer operating from our
design studio in Copenhagen. A graduate of the

of 2016, Kristian spent time in Japan studying

started collaborating with Tommy Hyldahl in
2016 but is a familiar face in the NORR11 family
after having a design internship at the
company in 2014.
Tommy is a founder and partner at NORR11 and
has been involved in the creative direction of the
company since the beginning. In 2011, Tommy
pursued his passion for materials and product
manufacturing when founding NORR11.
Copenhagen based designers Kristian Sofus
Hansen and Tommy Hyldahl work as a multi-
disciplinary design studio across the fields of
spatial, lighting, furniture and product design.
Natural materials are the design-duos main
sources of inspiration, which results in design
that expresses clean lines, the beauty of natural
material and the way it is produced. Everyday
objects are turned into lasting personal
mementos, focusing on the principles and
processes found in nature, honest materials
and quality design. Together Kristian & Tommy
strive to combine their passion for Scandinavian
tradition, Japanese simplicity and ethnic details
in timeless pieces of design.
