 | OUR DESIGN MISSION
Stories in Structures is a Danish based architecture and design studio. It is founded by MAA Architect Eva Wandel and Designer Rikke Nogel. Together with Madan Oli, our production manager, our mission is to create stories in structures through a design where sustainability and beauty meets. We design and produce all our products at our studio and work place situated in the heart of Copenhagen.
For us, it is important to be a part of the whole proces, from the design stage to the final product. In this way we can ensure sustainable workflow, high quality craftmanship, and there are no co2 cost in shipping back and forth.
Keeping the production in our own hands, instead of industrialising it by sending it to a country, where all production cost are much lower, fits to our philosophy of slow meaningfull design. We believe design should be slower – meaning not industrialised and more hands-on. This will mean that less is made, but it will have higher intrinsic value. We believe this approach will create better quality, less waste and it promotes greater cultural diversity and resilience.
The environmental issues the world is facing is real. It’s important that everyone does what they can to reduce waste and think wisely about their purchases. These elements are key to our process, - we create our products to last and hope that they will be passed down generations to come. We believe that good design should last for a lifetime. |
