Meet The Designer
Nicholai Wiig Hansen
Nicholai Wiig-Hansen established his design studio in 1990 and has since worked across furniture, lighting and ceramics. His designs often begin with archetypal forms, which he develops through proportion, colour and details chosen for a clear functional or aesthetic purpose.
Nicholai Wiig-Hansen: Familiar Forms, New Expression
Nicholai Wiig-Hansen established his studio in 1990 and has developed a diverse body of work spanning furniture, lighting and ceramics. Rather than pursuing complexity for its own sake, his work often begins with recognisable forms and gives them a different identity through changes in proportion, colour and detail.
Wiig-Hansen considers each detail in relation to either function or appearance, avoiding elements that serve neither purpose. This approach allows familiar furniture and homeware typologies to take on a more distinctive expression without losing the clarity of their original form.
