When we first saw the work of Han Kjobenhavn, we were knocked out by the effortless Scandinavian style of these dedicated Copenhagen residents.
Danish design majors on what's functional and pure, from the furniture and architecture of Arne Jacobsen to Georg Jensen cutlery.
Indeed, Jannik Davidsen, co-founder of Han Kjobenhavn in 2008, says eyewear was their first passion because "of our interest in furniture design and architecture; functional objects that can become iconic and timeless if you do it well enough".
Their approach has won global fans, with a new boutique in Paris.
