KODANSKA

Behind Kodanska is designer and CEO, Marie Graff. Kodanska means Copenhagen Street in Czech and is the name of the street in Prague where Marie and her family lived for a number of years. Marie's husband, Anders, was stationed in the country and this gave Marie a completely new everyday life with plenty of time and space for her innate creative urge and drive within entrepreneurship.

This is where the idea for the company Kodanska arose. Marie was missing a salt jar in the home and could not find a version where both function and aesthetics went into a higher unity. This was the start of a collaboration with a local potter, who made Marie's ideas about the ideal salt jar a reality. The salt jar quickly became popular with friends and family and before long Marie was at a fair for up-coming Danish designers.

The Kodanska adventure suddenly took off. At the same time, Marie's interest in Czech glass art grew and new products were created in collaboration with a local glassblower in Prague.

No Waste Design

How can we create the best and most responsible designs? How can we think creatively and push the work with designs in the best direction? These are some of the key words in the considerations we constantly make at Kodanska. As part of this work, through creative design processes we succeed in creating clean 'no waste designs', where all glass is 100% used in production.

No Change Without Support

As a consumer, we make a choice every time we put money somewhere, and conversely, as a company, we have a task in relation to creating a proper product that is valuable to the customer, both in an economic and responsible context. It requires direction, visibility and action on our part.
