Meet The Designer
Peter Johansen
Peter Johansen studied furniture and spatial design at the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts. His work is inspired by everyday surroundings and often begins with familiar forms, which he reinterprets through scale, proportion and a straightforward sense of humour.
Peter Johansen: A Willingness to Flirt with the Trivial
Peter Johansen graduated in furniture and spatial design from the Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts in 2004. His design process often involves full-scale modelling, allowing proportions and function to be tested directly as an idea develops. Johansen's work draws inspiration from everyday life and the ordinary objects around him.
Johansen describes his projects as logical, with a willingness to “flirt with the trivial”. This approach can be seen in his work for Normann Copenhagen, where familiar forms are simplified and given a stronger graphic presence without losing their practical purpose.
