ABOUT HERMAN CPH “WE AIM TO TELL A STORY ABOUT SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN AND THE CONTRAST BETWEEN THE TWO OF US, BETWEEN THE FEMININE AND THE MASCULINE. WE STATE IT AS THE CONTRAST BETWEEN: THE SIMPLE AND THE POWERFUL, THE ELEGANCE AND THE FINE CRAFTSMANSHIP.” Helle & Jonas Herman In Herman Cph, we are both the designers and producers of the products. This should be seen in light of a creative urge to create a universe where all products carry our design philosophy, where we have the opportunity to create our universe. THOUGHT AND BORN IN DENMARK Our products are designed and developed at our studio/workshop in Århus, Denmark. In our design process, we work iteratively between drawings and prototypes to achieve the right balance between form and function. For us, social and environmental responsibility, are key values in our production. We are convinced that people feel most comfortable, if they are among good and honest intentions. Therefore, all our products are produced in Denmark, where we are able to maintain a personal and close dialog with the talented people we work with. DESIGN PHILOSOPHY Our design Philosophy reflects in our idiom, which balances between the contrasts: the simple and the powerful, the elegance and the fine craftsmanship. Great materials are molded over time, which means that they only grow more beautiful and unique as year’s progress. A product by Herman Cph is created in order to be used and to reflect the lives lived. BACKGROUND Behind the Herman Cph design, is the duo and couple Helle Herman Mortensen and Jonas Herman Pedersen.
