friis & moltke was founded in 1954 by knud friis & elmar moltke nielsen. The two architects became known for their designs of private homes and large-scale buildings, such as hotels, schools and cultural institutions. In the 60s, they introduced a danish interpretation of brutalism, characterized by grand buildings in raw concrete that embed themselves into the surrounding landscape. Friis & moltke’s furniture, the nordsø series is designed to fit into the honest and uncompromising architecture that became their hallmark.

the nordsø series evokes thoughts of the new social communities and sense of freedom of the 70s. Both designs are characterized by their simplicity, which demands high standards of the materials and craftsmanship.

the series features distinctive, sturdy pillar legs measuring 8 cm in diameter, and tabletops and seats with a thickness of 6 cm. Despite the massive design language, the expression is softened by the rounded edges. As a result of the delicately shaped details, the series is warm and elegantly refined, yet never pretentious.

while the nordsø series immediately commands attention with its impressive size, its true strength lies in its ability to create a welcoming space that encourage presence and conversation – whether in private homes, workplace settings, educational institutions, or restaurants.

nordsø is produced in native wood species from northern europe, ensuring the shortest possible distance to the danish production.
