About the studio
A small studio with a long view.
Atelier Nord was founded in Copenhagen in 2012 by interior architect Freja Lund. Today we are seven designers working across Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
Our story
We started with one kitchen and a borrowed workshop.
The first Atelier Nord project was a small kitchen in Vesterbro, drawn on a kitchen table and built with a carpenter who lent us a corner of his workshop. The owners still cook in it every day.
Since then we have designed more than 180 rooms, from city apartments to cabins above the Arctic Circle. The projects have grown, but the method has not changed: we visit, we listen, and we draw until the room makes sense.
We keep the studio small on purpose. Every project has one designer who knows it from the first visit to the final styling day, and the founder still reviews every drawing set before it leaves the studio.

What we believe
Three things we will not compromise on.
01
Light before furniture
We study how daylight moves through a room before we place a single chair. Good light makes everything else easier.
02
Materials that age well
Oiled wood, lime plaster, wool and linen. We choose finishes that can be repaired and that look better after ten years of use.
03
One person, start to finish
Your project has one designer from the first visit to the final cushion. No hand-offs, no repeating yourself.
