Lucie Kaas was founded
in 2012 with a vision of bringing
stylish yet timeless interior objects
into the international design scene.
The starting point of this ambition was
in the Danish market with a number of
re-launches of mid-century Scandinavian
designs. Lucie Kaas’s approach is cha-
racterized by both looking to the past
for inspiration but also focusing on
developing new interpretations
of classic designs.
The lotus pattern was
originally designed in the 1960s by
the Norwegian artist Arne Clausen. In
collaboration with Arne Clausen’s family,
Lucie Kaas has relaunched a collection of
ceramic bowls where the pattern again
comes to its right.
The Norwegian design talent
Sara Skotte has revived the lotus
pattern with a series of cups, milk jugs,
sugarbowl and pitchers made in porcelain.
The items combine the timeless pattern
with modern shapes.
From 1955 to 1965
Gunnar Flørning was the man
behind many of the biggest Danish
design successes that were designed
and produced for the Danish company
Laurids Lønborg. Lucie Kaas has
given new life to some of his
wooden figures.
Lucie Kaas has reintroduced the
work of Danish designer Th. Skjøde
Knudsen. He experienced great inter-
national success in the 1950s and 60s
for his wooden pieces characterized
by a simple design and quality
in the craftsmanship.
BoxMove is the result of
a collaboration with the talented
Danish designduo Nordvink. BoxMove
is a flexible dresser consisting of a big
main box with legs made of oak, where
smaller modules can be placed in.
The modules are moveable, allowing for
a variety of looks and applications to be
created. BoxMove combines elegant
wood with modern colors in a
contrasting and functional
piece of furniture.
Christian Schollert was
a pioneering ceramist within the
1930s and 40s functionalistic approach
to ceramics. He ran his own pottery in
Nærum, Denmark, where he produced the
characteristic ribbed designs in the late
1930s. Lucie Kaas has relaunched some of
the items in a modern interpretation
where form and function maintains
the expression of Schollert’s
original designs.
The NORLYS candle holder is
named after the Nordic phenomenon
”nordlys” or “Northern lights”. Where in
nature the Northern lights spread across
the sky in different colours and beautiful
patterns, also NORLYS is flexible and
can be shaped into various forms.
Lucie Kaas collaborated with the
Danish designer Anna Karnov in the
making of the PickME stool. The name is
inspired by the opening in the center of the
seat that makes the stool easy to pick up and
move around. It can be used as an extra seat, a
bedside table, and even as a storage space.
Adorning breakfast tables
in the 60s and 70s, Lucie Kaas has
reintroduced and updated these Danish
designed egg holders, pencil holders and
candleholders named Bordfolk. Graphic
designer Marie Willumsen has extended
the universe with a series of posters
and bed linen.
