NORR11 - Approach to design

Created by Sissel Høystad

Lead designer Kristian Sofus Hansen and founder Tommy Hyldahl blend architectural precision with fashion-forward forecasting. Their commitment to form, function, and comfort results in furniture that radiates personality and relevance. Furniture that doesn’t just fill a space, but defines it.

How Ideas Come to Life

Kristian Sofus Hansen begins the creative process by focusing on form and proportions, drawing inspiration from architecture and the interplay of light and shadow in buildings. He examines every detail closely, taking cues from his travels and the textures, materials, and historic structures he encounters. Tommy Hyldahl brings his fashion industry experience to the process, carefully observing trends and cultural shifts to anticipate future needs.

Combining research with intuition, he acts decisively to create designs that are both relevant and forward-thinking. Together, they merge eras, cultures, materials, and design directions, producing furniture that feels familiar yet fresh, striking a balance between classic and contemporary design.
