Designers

Truly beautiful designs deserve to be made by hand, not a machine, and we are honoured to have skilled craftsmen creating each piece and responding to the uniqueness of the leather, wood or brass they have selected. In this way, we are able to shine a light on the artistry of our craft.

EKTA Living also takes great care in selecting the incredible team of artists and designers who collaborate on our collection, and we are proud to give them a platform to share their extraordinary pieces.

Designers are chosen based on their talent and exceptional craftsmanship but, most importantly, their alignment with the essence of the EKTA brand.

Signe and Sune Wirth Engelund

The design of our products is timeless, as we do not want them to go out of style and be replaced by the next big thing. Instead, we want people to take good care of their things and maintain them, to make them last longer.

Timothy Jacob Jensen Studios

Trine Find

EKTA Living has taken over the sales and development of Trine Find’s popular Filigrantree. Trine Find originally came up with the idea for the simple Christmas tree years ago when she decided to make an Advent calendar for her children. It quickly dawned on her that the innovative and sustainable Nordic design created a new possibility for extending Christmas. The functionality and simplicity of the design was, therefore, an obvious addition to EKTA Living’s other collections.
