Established in Copenhagen in 2017, Tekla creates elevated yet functional homeware pieces that centre a timeless, straightforward design expression. Since launching, Tekla has embodied an honest commitment to uncompromising quality. With a foundation in bedding, the full collection now comprises pieces for the entire home, including towels, sleepwear and blankets—all made to be lived in and made to last. Tekla holds B Corp certification, joining a global movement of people using business as a force for good. Tekla is available at its Copenhagen and London stores, globally online and through a handful of carefully selected retail partners in Europe, North America and the Asia–Pacific.
Tekla returns to Charlottenborg, an art institution and former palace located in the heart of Copenhagen, with The Heart of Living exhibition exploring the tradition and craft of patchwork quilts. Referencing 20th–century Swedish design and using colours from Tekla’s archive, exhibition pieces are displayed alongside Tekla’s heirloom–inspired broderie anglaise collection in cabin beds—enclosed wooden beds used until the 19th century in Sweden. The exhibition design is supported by Mentze Ottenstein.
