Maria Berntsen strives to design products with nerve, functionality, and identity. With her own design studio in Copenhagen, she has focused on architecture and design since 1992. Maria Berntsen is a well-established name in the design industry and has, over the years, collaborated with a wide range of Danish and international companies. Her extensive experience has resulted in many successful designs.
"At the start of a new project, I look for an idea with nerve, functionality and identity. By modelling and visualizing, I test the idea, how it might be used, and its presence. Good design communicates and establishes a dialogue with the receiver. Design is not just about functionality – it is as much about the emotional connection and impact. To me, success is when my design brings joy in the everyday lives of people"
To honour and celebrate the innovative and beautiful designs, we have collected all the award winners within our Nordlux Hall of Fame.
