The idea behind my design is to create a piece of furniture that can embrace two completely intimately in the moment. A place to share the joys of the day, capture the big thoughts or simply a seat that can offer you a break when times are busy.
The lounge chair was created with the idea of pulling the chair from the corner of the room, into the middle of the room instead, wanting to look at it from more angles.
A singular piece reshaping the act of hanging a garment. An exploration of format were geometric shapes are arranged in a rigorous sculptural composition. The monolithic presence of the piece is enhanced by the visual contrast between scale and proportion; the enlarged wall hook, the solid ring and the very fine hanger curve.

A unique storage case designed and crafted by Nikolaj Busch Jensen in Elm. Inspired by your standard carry-on luggage, the stay case urges one to reflect on only the essential items for everyday use. Thanks to its flexible appearance design, this item can be used for different purposes, from storing clothes in the wardrobe to carrying all of one’s essentials as a light luggage. Made to stay or to go for generations.
Zen bench prototype II This low chair is intended for meditation and contemplation with a seat wide enough for an upright cross-legged position and a curved backrest for more laid back sessions. The design seeks to be lifting, while at the same time grounding and calming. It draws from Danish design and Japanese timber constructions and architecture using classic materials and joinery while experimenting with new ideas.

I have long been inspired by the not/fer collection, and the design possibilities that can be achieved through the form of this collection.
My journeyman piece is the result of what I have learned through my education as a cabinetmaker. I wanted to make a smaller piece of furniture in oak, with traditional joints and marquetry decorations .
The thought behind my choice was that I wanted to make a piece of furniture which is inviting but at the same time breaks with the very sharp, straight lines that much furniture architecture – especially in the north.
This journeyman piece is a “story bench”. It was created as a place for me to read stories with my two children and where i can sit and enjoy a good book when they are at sleep. The bench was heavily inspired by the midcentury telephone bench but the frame was made much more organic in its design.
I wanted to create a versatile, timeless piece. It was designed as an entrance sideboard but it could easily fit in an office or function as a bar cabinet. My choice for pear wood was driven by its aesthetics and warm color. The orange hue is a nod to my Dutch heritage. I would like to dedicate this piece to my brother and father.

This round table with the name “Octagonal round table” is designed by Ahmad Amani in 2023. The table is homemade in solid smoked oak, designed to combine a modern design with classic carpentry techniques.
The core-construction of the chair is made entirely in European oak, which gives the chair a classic and down to earth look. This chair is designed with several organic shapes and curves. Especially the head support gives the chairs the modern and playful look I was going for. The seat and backrest are braided with traditional Danish paper cord techniques.
Anne Brandhøj is interested in the encounter between elements where cohesion and contrasts emerge – she analyzes and combines wood and shapes. Curved and round shapes such as circles, convexes, and concave arches meet surfaces and edges, douglas fir meets ash and oak meets cherry wood.
Tried to make something as light and relatively simple as possible, as sustainability was a very central issue in the idea behind my furniture. Both through good craftsmanship, but not least a kind of upholstery device (where it can be changed with an umbraco) which I go and experiment a bit with, and have used here in the journeyman piece – with the idea that anyone and everyone can refresh/modernize the furniture with something new fabric, at home in the living room, without much experience or a toolbox.
