PLEASE WAIT to be SEATED is a Copenhagen-based design company with a mission: to create lasting and meaningful furniture, lighting, and accessories. Their style is unmistakably their own, blending playful, vibrant ingenuity with a genuine reverence for the classics and an insatiable curiosity for architecture and form. This amalgam somehow results in designs that feel both familiar and daringly original. The distinctiveness might stem from their collaborations with some of today’s most exciting artists and designers, or perhaps their commitment to quality, enduring materials, and responsible solutions. Every piece is anchored by a carefully curated colour palette, ensuring a cohesive feel across the collection.

PLEASE WAIT to be SEATED invites you to explore their latest novelties and full design collection at their permanent showroom, located in the heart of Frederiksstaden, Copenhagen’s historic centre.

Established in 2020 in Armenia, OCHRE merges artistic ideas with artisanal expertise to craft objects for everyday life. At the heart of OCHRE’s practice is wool—a material that serves as both a physical foundation and a source of reflection. Yet wool is a starting point, never an obligatory final destination. In recent years, OCHRE’s collections have expanded into the world of embroidery, ceramics, and beyond. OCHRE creates objects for everyday life, guided by a search for more sustainable ways of relating to materials, to histories, and to one another.

ykoon is a design label by Steven Gosseye built on conscious choice, valued not only for its design, but for the story, craftsmanship and integrity behind each piece. Each object seeks simplicity in form while remaining engaging through detail and proportion. Grounded in a strong technical foundation, every design is carefully refined down to its construction and finishing. The story of each object begins with an idea and evolves through sketches and prototypes into a well–considered result. Working exclusively with solid hardwoods, ykoon employs traditional joinery techniques, reflecting a deep respect for craftsmanship. Sustainability, tradition and character come together in objects shaped with care and intention.
