Award-winning David Thulstrup brings his extensive experience as an architect and interior designer to furniture and lighting design. Using architecture and context as a starting point, he creates simple, well-crafted pieces that are distinctive in their form but work harmoniously in the overall space. Honest use of materials and clarity of purpose are paramount. Applying a holistic approach to his practice, Thulstrup often creates furniture and lighting for specific projects but always with the intention that they can belong anywhere.

Although contemporary in their expression they are designs that will stand the test of time. Thulstrup has completed an extensive international portfolio ranging from residential architecture to restaurants, retail, hotels, furniture and lighting. His Noma restaurant interior won multiple awards for its elegant mix of craft and comfort and strong sense of place. Before founding his studio in 2009, David worked for Jean Nouvel in Paris and Peter Marino in New York. Today he works with a culturally diverse team in a naturally-lit industrial space in Copenhagen.
