Komplot Design

Established in Copenhagen in 1987 by Danish architect Poul Christiansen and industrial designer Boris Berlin, Komplot Design stands as one of Scandinavia’s most innovative partnerships. The studio rejected predictable styling, treating industrial manufacturing methods not as constraints, but as springboards for fresh, expressive silhouettes. Their landmark breakthrough arrived with the GUBI 3D Chair, the first furniture piece ever conceived using pioneering 3D veneer-moulding technology. This breakthrough allowed genuine wood to curve into a double-contoured shell, giving the seat extraordinary ergonomic flexibility and structural lightness. Later, with the Nobody Chair for HAY, they pushed ecological engineering by molding an entire chair from a single sheet of recycled felt without screws or frames. Komplot Design redefined Scandinavian modernism, fusing technical precision with human warmth and sculptural integrity.
