STEFFENSEN & WÜRTZ
Designers Thomas Steffensen and Pia Würtz Mogensen are the founders of design studio Steffensen & Würtz. They work with industrial design in their studio in Aalborg. Thomas Steffensen and Pia Würtz Mogensen both have an MA in Industrial Design.
They have collaborated with several Danish and foreign brands, including Bolia and German kitchen manufacturer Allmilmö and in 2023, the Wine Cooler designed for Sackit won a German Design Award.
They got off to a flying start, beginning their collaboration with furnipart in 2020, where they contributed to the successful 2020 Collection. Among their first designs was MOTION – a handle crafted in cast iron to emphasize raw tactility and timeless durability, all while maintaining a structured yet “cleaning friendly” handle.
Steffensen & Würtz designs are based on a wish to lessen everyday stress in a world where we are constantly bombarded with impressions. They design simple and functional products, which only require our attention at the moment when they are used.
PRODUCTS OF
STEFFENSEN & WÜRTZ
RACE
The rationale behind Race was to create a simple and straightforward handle with contrasts in both form and expression. A thin zamac ring meets a sharp geometric profile, contrasting with the gentle wooden base.
SEGMENT
Segment creates a segmented expression, where a material shift highlights the handle, giving the wooden part an almost elevated presence. This handle expresses strength and elegance through its cast brackets, giving it a fine and refined grip with a slight reference to industrial design.
