Wencke Barfoed & Elizabeth Skytte
Danish creative partnership Wencke Barfoed and Elizabeth Skytte—founders of Copenhagen lifestyle and homeware label WE Shop (established in 2008)—are recognized for bringing lighthearted graphic patterns, sensory textile craft, and vibrant color palettes to contemporary Scandinavian interiors. Barfoed (an acclaimed Danish actress) and Skytte (a graphic and spatial designer) united over a shared desire to soften domestic spaces. The duo achieved prominent lifestyle recognition for their tactile home accessories, featured by cultural institutions including the Louisiana Museum of Modern Art and the Designmuseum Danmark. Their signature creations span printed cushions, woven throws, acoustic kitchen textiles, and graphic wall art characterized by playful geometric grids, stylized botanical motifs, and unexpected pastel contrasts. Prioritizing pure OEKO-TEX certified cottons and natural linens, their designs inject daily living with warmth.
