lighting, vases, chandeliers and other design pieces

101 Copenhagen is a Danish design brand, founded in 2017 with a strong vision to create a world of beautiful accessories with quality craftsmanship and timeless design.

Thanks to its collaboration with talented craftspeople and a design aesthetic that reflects their commitment to high-quality materials, the Danish brand promotes collections of lighting and ceramics featuring bold, organic colours and clean lines. 101 Copenhagen enjoys combining traditional craftsmanship with raw materials such as natural wood and ceramics, infusing its wide range of decorative objects with Scandinavian design and a modern style.

Minimalist yet original, the Duck range from 101 Copenhagen features ceramic bowls, pots and vases in matt black, beige, dark grey or brown. This almost rustic collection centres on decorative pieces with rounded, almost naive curves which, standing on their three feet, will effortlessly enhance your dining room shelf or any other room in your lovely flat. With the Duck collection, it’s all about those unique little details that make all the difference – choose a pretty vase or a decorative bowl crafted from hand-glazed ceramic.

The Scandinavian brand’s design team has also created the Drop lighting range, which consists of pendant lights made up of multiple flexible lampshades. Each of these small spherical or teardrop-shaped lampshades is adjustable, allowing you to tailor the light output of your chandelier and create a unique, cosy atmosphere. Made from aluminium and brass, these pendant lights add a truly ‘hygge’ touch to your interior lighting by casting a soft glow throughout every room in your home. Available in gold, grey or even white glass, these large pendant lights will look stunning above the coffee table in your loft or even used as a kitchen pendant light.

Another piece of designer lighting from the Nordic brand 101 Copenhagen, the Mushroom table lamp is perfect for adding a touch of elegance to your study or bedroom.

Available in two different sizes, this designer lamp is perfect as a desk lamp, a small bedside lamp or simply as a stylish table lamp to place near mirrors on a console table.

Frequently asked questions

Who is 101 Copenhagen?

101 Copenhagen is a Danish brand founded in 2017 by Tommy Hyldahl in Copenhagen. Younger than its competitors, the brand quickly earned its place on the Scandinavian scene thanks to a very distinctive positioning: sculptural ceramics and raw materials. The spirit of 101 Copenhagen can be summed up in a few words: textured minimalism, sculptural shapes, earthy palette. The brand's vases, lamps and accessories evoke contemporary sculptures rather than utilitarian objects. Tommy Hyldahl draws his inspiration from art brut, nature and brutalist architecture. The colours are mainly neutral: ivory, sand, terracotta, stone grey, sage green, dark brown. The materials are refined: matt ceramic, marble, travertine, natural stone, patinated metal. Production takes place mostly in Portugal and Italy. 101 Copenhagen is now distributed in around thirty countries and positions itself as an upmarket alternative to the classic big Scandinavian names.

What are 101 Copenhagen's flagship pieces?

Several 101 Copenhagen pieces have become classics in just a few years. The Sculpt vases (Sculpt Tall, Sculpt Round and Sculpt Cone collections) in matt ceramic with their pared-back shapes are bestsellers. Available in several sizes (15 to 60 cm high), they can be used on their own or grouped together. The Crepe and Pleat table lamps with their pleated paper shades deliver exceptional light quality. The travertine side tables and sofa-side tables (Pillar collection) are highly sought-after statement pieces. The Pond mirrors (a take on the water-drop silhouette already seen at Ferm Living) come in XXL versions measuring up to 110 cm high. Patinated metal and marble plant stands, sculptural candleholders and decorative bowls round off the world of the brand. 101 Copenhagen's strength: few pieces (a tight catalogue of around 150 references) but each one has a strong sculptural character that transforms an interior.

Is 101 Copenhagen an expensive brand?

Yes, 101 Copenhagen sits at the upper end of the market. For the Sculpt vases, expect 80-200 euros for the small sizes (15-25 cm), 200-450 euros for the medium ones (30-45 cm) and 450-900 euros for the large statement pieces (50-60 cm). The Crepe and Pleat table lamps are around 350-650 euros. The Pillar travertine tables sell for 800-1,800 euros depending on size. The Pond mirrors range from 250 euros (small size) to 1,500 euros (XXL). Plant stands are 300-700 euros. Sculptural candleholders 80-300 euros. That is more expensive than most classic Scandinavian brands (Bloomingville, House Doctor, Ferm Living), but value for money remains fair given the upmarket European production and the unique character of each piece. To get started with 101 Copenhagen without breaking the bank, go for 1-2 medium-sized Sculpt vases (expect 250-400 euros) and place them as a statement on a console table or a mantelpiece. That is enough to instantly bring a strong sculptural character to your interior.
