KN—S is a Copenhagen based design studio founded in 2012 by designer and creative director Kristian Lindhardt Nørhave. The studio works in the classic Scandinavia minimalism, with a playful approach that brings the Scandinavian style into our time; a style we like to call “Maximal Minimalism”.
The Scandinavian style and quality is widely known, it is easily recognized for its pure lines, simple colouring and elegant expression and I am very pleased to be a part of the next generation to bring the Scandinavian inherited into a new area.
