Helle Mardahl Studio operates at the intersection of art and functionality to create a dreamy universe of richly coloured glass designs of eccentric deviance. A graduate of London’s Central Saint Martins, Helle Mardahl is an artist and designer whose work is marked by a sense of lavishness and extravagance combined with a sense of flamboyance. As a designer, Helle Mardahl is concerned with the beauty of contrasts. Her richly coloured glass designs are alive and natural, fragile yet robust, simple yet ornate.

This year’s installation by Helle Mardahl breathes life into heritage and legacy, weaving together connection, memory, and meaning through meticulously crafted objects—each one a playful nod to the past and a wink to the present. Through material, form and craftsmanship, the installation captures the essence of affection, history, and humour—a colourful conversation between tradition and transformation, embracing both nostalgia and the unexpected. It is Helle’s very first installation in the new store— where history meets whimsy, and where glass never takes itself too seriously.

AOT is a small family–run design company based in Copenhagen. Driven by challenging materials, they aim to liberate these materials from what is expected of them. Inventing new hand–made processes is a core element of their practice where doing things the conventionally 'wrong' way, has proved to be ideal for creating things that are both original and classic. Things that are easy to read yet easy on the eye! AOT is both a design studio and a production house and everything they produce is made in Denmark — either in–house or with carefully sourced producers. This is a key part of AOT, as it enables their insistence and audacity to create things that are hand-made in Denmark and still affordable.

With an aesthetic which leans more timeless than futuristic, Santa & Cole favours history over fashion, silence over noise. From spectacle to substance: if objects can be read, it’s because they have something to say. These are slow–cooked products, crafted to last, designed to be passed down through generations.
