The designers, Icelandic and Danish Thora Finnsdottir Søe and Danish Anne Hoff, say they are inspired by every day things.

“It’s not the functionality but the shape and feeling which give us inspiration to our designs. We love transforming an object into something new and different but still keeping some details which create a memory or a feeling. Our products are the meeting between past and future and the memories which all people carry with them.”
