"House of Menu"Scandinavian Design Originals.
3 little words. But they express everything for which we live and breathe: A never-ending search for beautiful Scandinavia design with true originality. Aesthetic and practical daily surprises that you become happier and happier to look at, touch and use. Surprises that make you say: But of course – how come no one has thought of that before?
The art of getting an original idea
Creativity is when our brain plays. When we allow our imagination to fly and explore the art of what is possible. We aim to think freshly. To question the existing shape of things. To dare to combine known things in a new way. And to create new combinations in form, function, material and aesthetics. We refine it all through our deep roots in Scandinavian nature and design tradition – the high quality material and the clean shapes. We strip away all unnecessary decorations, leaving the design idea to present itself in its pure form and in great craftsmanship.
Ambition keeps us going
If some day, someone manages to catch a falling star and turn it into a beautiful source of light with no need for electricity, that someone will be us. Is that ambitious? Yes! But this is the ambition that gives us the willpower to break down the boundaries of Scandinavian design and originality each and every day. This is the secret behind the unique spirit in every gift that carries the name Menu.

I think I’ll treat myself to a day devoted to really enjoying life. Completely relax. Take plenty of time to indulge myself. Perhaps a hot bath and a good back scrub, the air awaft with incense. Or just laze on the sofa beside a crackling fire, lost in a good book. Or share a cosy candlelight evening with those I hold closest. Disconnect for a moment. Stop. Sense. Savour.

“I have moved for Menu from very geometric design to more asymmetrical shapes, inspired by nature. For example, by recreating the shape of a stone that has been worn by the movement of the waves. Previously, it was largely about designing things from the kitchen and the dining table for taking out into the garden. Now the trend has reversed: We are importing shapes from the great outdoors into the garden.”

“I have always worked with distinctive organic shapes, in a universe inspired by everything from single-cell amoeba to corals and planets. This, combined with considerable precision, results in characterful and original products that fall between the precise and the organic.”
This working method has, among other things, led to one of the latest additions to our range of original products, the Jewellery Tree, which has just been awarded the prestigious Red Dot Design Award 2008.
