INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the Icons of Denmark Lookbook 2016/2017.
Since our launch in 2009, Icons of Denmark has distinguished itself as the London home of
Danish Design. We work closely with a carefully considered circle of talented designers and
craftsmen who hold a deep fascination for refined beauty, natural materials and functional
design that the Danes pride themselves upon.
This year, we’re proud to announce our collaboration with Kristina Haslund, Founder of Studio
Haslund as well as our consultant on hospitality projects. With a background in creating elegant,
functional spaces; Kristina’s expertise has led to a refocusing of our collection in both style and
curation. You will find a residential quality to the spaces and this is deliberate. We wanted to
capture the cleanness and light tonality of the living space that are essential to Danish Design whether that’s in a hotel or restaurant; workplace environment, or indeed, the home.
We hope you enjoy your stay.

Owner, Icons of Denmark Ltd
