Lars Vejen
DRAFT OF A CRAFT
Danish architect and designer Lars Vejen operates at the intersection of materials, space, and objects. A core aspect of his design practice is bringing together diverse disciplines to create products where new synergies arise.
I work with people! I love seeing different skills come together around a shared ambition - learning from one another in the process and sharing the joy of creation. Magic often happens when people from different backgrounds, cultures, and disciplines - sometimes without even sharing a spoken language - unite around that very first doodle.
Design Studio Lars Vejen is a multidisciplinary design practice based in Denmark and Japan. My work spans a broad spectrum of design disciplines, with a primary focus on furniture, urban elements, lighting, building components and home accessories, realized in close collaboration with traditional craftsmen and established industries. Working at the intersection of architecture and design, I develop products with a profound dedication to people, human interaction and architectural context, where form, function and enduring quality remain fundamental. With my work I seek to create design that is of its time, with the ambition to endure as the classics of tomorrow.
"I divide my life between Denmark and Japan - a distance which reflects the expansive scope of my work, which spans a wide range of scales and disciplines."
“From head and heart through hand as a sketch on paper Ideas on their way to life” Lars Vejen, 2014
