Helle Mardahl Studio operates at the intersection of art and functionality to create a dreamy universe of richly coloured glass designs of eccentric deviance. A graduate of London’s Central Saint Martins, Helle Mardahl is an artist and designer whose work is marked by a sense of lavishness and extravagance combined with a sense of flamboyance. As a designer, Helle Mardahl is concerned with the beauty of contrasts. Her richly coloured glass designs are alive and natural, fragile yet robust, simple yet ornate.

This year’s installation by Helle Mardahl breathes life into heritage and legacy, weaving together connection, memory, and meaning through meticulously crafted objects—each one a playful nod to the past and a wink to the present. Through material, form and craftsmanship, the installation captures the essence of affection, history, and humour—a colourful conversation between tradition and transformation, embracing both nostalgia and the unexpected. It is Helle’s very first installation in the new store— where history meets whimsy, and where glass never takes itself too seriously.

This vision comes to life in the brand’s workshop, where Bretz boldly pushes forward with a pioneering spirit, while also drawing on over a century of German upholstery tradition. Born from a passion for the unexpected and refined by sophisticated production techniques, Bretz creates exceptional modular and multifunctional designs. Only when a sofa, bed, armchair, or accessory has been perfected down to the finest detail will it meet the brand’s exacting standards.
