Stilleben

The Stilleben design-DNA is simple, feminine and contemporary. The Danish design duo mainly focuses on the expression; shapes, material, glazes and colours. The function is important but not a leading role in the design.

“We are inspired by art, craft, architecture and travelling to other large cities. Our latest visit to Tokyo was a big inspiration – both regarding the culture in general, but specifically their tradition for distinct, simple and highly skilled craftsmanship.”

– Ditte Reckweg & Jelena Schou Nordentoft

The two designers behind Stilleben Ditte Reckweg and Jelena Schou Nordentoft are both educated from The Danish Design Academy- Ceramics and Glass in 2002.

Since 2002, they have owned the design store and webshop ‘Stilleben’, which carries their own design. They also design for companies such as Kæhler, Skagerak, Georg Jensen and Rosendahl.
