When Louise Smærup set up her own interior design and art brand, Louise Smærup Design, in 2013, she did so on the back of 14 years’ work as a professional artist. Her pieces, which are inspired by the contrasts found in Scandinavian nature, were snapped up by prestigious Danish department stores such as Illums Bolighus and lauded by design magazines. In just two years, her cushions, candleholders and chopping boards have made their way into countless Danish homes.
