SUP & MolgardSUP & Molgard. Est. 2008
SUP & Molgard is a partnership between Søren Ulrik Petersen and Claus Mølgaard. Claus Mølgaard is an engineer and has a Ph.D. from the Technical University of Denmark from 1995. Claus works mainly in plastic, processing another designer’s proposal to product develop the idea. He takes inspiration from the designers he works with, and with his extensive knowledge about production technology they develop the product together. Søren Ulrik Petersen completed his apprenticeship as a cabinetmaker at the furniture makers’ firm Wulffs in Hellerup in 1985. After his apprenticeship he studied at The Danish Design School, graduating as a furniture designer in 1990. He takes a functionalist approach, and his products are based on the ambition of promoting closer relations between people. |

Hole in a boxThe idea behind HOLE IN A BOX is to make use of the materials around us. In Denmark alone, we use more than one million bottles a day. With HOLE IN A BOX, a few of these bottles may now have a longer and more beautiful life. Cut the bottom off a PET bottle, insert the plug in the hole, and you will always have a vase of the proper size. The design of the vase is simple and anonymous – and at first glance bereft of function. But once the bottle is fitted, and the flowers are put in the case, the function emerges, and the design fades into the background. |
