about
My name is Kasper Friis Egelund, I am educated as designer and specialized within furniture and objects.
I am born and and raised on Funen in Denmark, where I spend most of my childhood. Since I have studied a bachelor degree in Design and Business at VIA Design and later a master in Furniture and Object Design at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts Schools of Architecture, Design and Conservation (KADK).
I strive to find my own language trough design, and always try to broaden my horizon. The Scandinavian design is a big inspiration of mine, and I often use architecture in my projects. In cohesion with a graphical fascination I aim to create designs with a distinctive expression.
