Multi-talented Danish designer Søren Rose started his career as an entrepreneur and creative director – setting up one of Scandinavia’s most successful web companies, among other enterprises. In 2008, he fulfilled a life-long dream by opening a design studio in New York. Today, he is one of New York’s most in-demand designers, with an outpost in Copenhagen.

The studio famously operates a no-hierarchy rule. “If a junior designer has the best idea that’s what we go with,” Søren explains. “As a studio, we worship at the altar of quality and sustainable materials.”
