跨越時空維度，領略極簡創意的藝術– 101 Copenhagen

Transcending Time and Space：Embracing the Art of Minimalism Creative– 101 Copenhagen

美的事物總是在不經意間引人注目，讓人想將那份美好占為己有，在身邊永久留存。然而，萬物皆逃不過歲月洗禮，歷經四季更迭，你是否依然深受眼前的事物有所感動？在這快速發展的時代，人們逐漸捨棄對物質過於華麗的追求，轉而向內尋求純粹之美的精神，終究渴望與自然的連結，於靜謐中探索萬物本質，意識到愈是簡單純粹，愈經得起時間洗鍊，醞釀出歷久彌新的別緻韻味，體會蘊藏在表面之下的深層哲理。

Beautiful things often capture our attention effortlessly, evoking a desire to make them part of our lives, to hold on to them forever. However, nothing escapes the passage of time. As the seasons change, do these objects still move you as they once did? In this fast-paced world, people are gradually shifting away from the pursuit of extravagant materialism, turning instead to seek a purer, more meaningful beauty from within. Ultimately, they long for a connection with nature, exploring the essence of things in tranquility. The simpler and more refined an object is, the more it can withstand the test of time, revealing a timeless elegance that deepens with age, offering profound insight beneath its surface.

宅邸內摒除繁雜的陳設，僅於各區擺放幾件101 Copenhagen 的家具擺飾，無論是櫃上陶器、壁面燈飾，抑或客廳內的桌椅沙發，每樣物件皆猶如雕塑品般存在於日常之中，透過有機型態、自然紋理為空間獻上詩意，從秩序中找到平衡，營造出寧靜和諧的氛圍，各司其職輔佐人們的生活作息，以俏皮姿態襯托室內背景，任憑時間流轉成為永恆的經典延續。

Within the home, the clutter is stripped away, leaving only a few pieces from 101 Copenhagen strategically placed in each area. Whether it’s the ceramic vases on the shelves, the lighting fixtures on the walls, or the tables, chairs, and sofas in the living room, each piece stands like a sculptural work of art, bringing a sense of poetry to the space through organic forms and natural textures. These objects create a harmonious balance from within their order, fostering an atmosphere of calm and serenity. They serve their purpose by supporting daily routines, while playfully complementing the interior setting. Over time, these pieces become timeless classics, continuing their legacy as enduring icons.

東西方文化交會，簡約中的深度真理

The Convergence of Eastern and Western Cultures – Uncovering Profound Truth in Simplicity

「我們不能稱為純粹的極簡主義者，但的確極簡主義根植於我們的血液裡成為天性，那是一個開端，更多的是在作品中結合功能，注入趣味創意和藝術表達。」創辦人Tommy Hyldahl說道。這個極有潛力的設計品牌—101 Copenhagen 在2017 年成立於丹麥，將理念灌注於創作之中，更進一步跨越理性框架，藉由藝術形式融入感性和激情，讓作品與使用者建立感性對話，嚴謹看待其工藝精神，為看似簡約質樸的家具擺飾注入靈魂與溫度。自推出首個Sphere 陶瓷系列開始，這些手工製成的花瓶及家居飾品始於基本線條鋪陳，陸續迎來圓潤曲線變換姿態，有些器皿甚至有俏皮的造型底座支撐著獨特輪廓的身軀，成為品牌的經典標誌，即使起初帶有啞光的紋理飾面只有深灰色和咖啡色，那真實呈現材質面貌觸動著人們的感官、散發強烈個性，兼具功能性與裝飾層面的角色。

"We wouldn't call ourselves pure minimalists, but minimalism is certainly in our DNA, shaping our natural approach. It serves as the foundation, though we focus more on combining functionality with playful creativity and artistic expression," says founder Tommy Hyldahl. Established in Denmark in 2017, 101 Copenhagen is a design brand with immense potential, embedding its philosophy into every creation. The brand goes beyond the rational by integrating emotion and passion into its artistic forms, fostering a deeper emotional connection between its objects and their users. With a meticulous attention to craftsmanship, these seemingly simple, understated home décor pieces are imbued with soul and warmth. From the launch of its first Sphere ceramic collection, the brand’s handcrafted vases and home accessories have evolved from basic lines into more rounded, sculptural forms. Some pieces even feature playful bases that support unique contours, becoming brand signatures. Initially, these matte-textured finishes were available only in dark grey and coffee tones, emphasizing the raw beauty of the material and awakening the senses, while balancing both functionality and decorative appeal.

一切源於對日本極簡主義的熱愛。品牌創辦人 Tommy Hyldahl 、主要設計師  Kristian Sofus Hansen 和設計師 Nicolaj Nøddesbo，三人從過去積累的經驗中，觀察到天然材質自然演化的美，體現侘寂美學精髓，那流暢弧度和不對稱型態，展現返璞歸真的生活哲學，這種簡樸的美感深深吸引著他們，於是便融合斯堪地納維亞的現代感與日本傳統工藝，讓兩個地域的相異文化存在相似的設計語彙，相互碰撞融合並創新詮釋，創造新鮮又與眾不同的產品，仍始終保有簡約之美。

At the heart of this vision lies a deep appreciation for Japanese minimalism. Founder Tommy Hyldahl, along with lead designer Kristian Sofus Hansen and designer Nicolaj Nøddesbo, were captivated by the beauty found in the natural evolution of materials—a key principle of wabi-sabi aesthetics. The flowing curves and asymmetrical forms reflect a philosophy of returning to the essence of life. This understated beauty resonated deeply with the designers, prompting them to fuse the modernity of Scandinavian design with traditional Japanese craftsmanship. The result is a fresh and unique collection where these two distinct cultures intersect, yet still maintain the simplicity that defines them both.

「我們不停追求對品質的提升，對於產品仍不斷在細微之處改良、為其注入有生命的設計核心。」除了追求對美學的觀點，101 Copenhagen 亦重視材料及品質，致力於打造經久耐用的產品及對包裝材質的嚴選，展現品牌對可持續設計的投入，就像日本傳統修復陶器的工藝技術「金繼（Kintsugi）」，看見了延續器物生命的可能性，正是基於對材料的尊重，而這些材料隨著時間推移變得更美，如此真誠地擁抱無常之美與時間流逝的精神啟發著他們，在材料及顏色選擇方面，不僅善用陶瓷、混凝土和金屬的天然紋理增進感官體驗，透過這些過程帶來的挑戰，從而找到滿意的解決方案（如纖維混凝土），藉由研究趨勢思考未來，盡可能減少環境汙染，真正實踐環保意識。

“We are constantly striving for better quality, always refining even the smallest details to breathe life into the design’s core.” Beyond aesthetics, 101 Copenhagen also places great emphasis on materials and craftsmanship, ensuring that each product is built to last. They are committed to sustainable design practices, from careful material selection to the use of eco-friendly packaging. Inspired by the traditional Japanese technique of Kintsugi, which honors the life of objects by repairing them with gold, 101 Copenhagen sees beauty in the natural aging of materials. This genuine respect for materials as they transform over time is a guiding philosophy. In their choice of ceramics, concrete, and metals, they enhance sensory experiences with natural textures. Through the challenges posed by these processes, they have innovated solutions like fiber concrete, always aiming to reduce environmental impact while thinking ahead to future trends—making sustainability a core part of their design ethos.

順應潮流趨勢，使產品設計走在前沿

作為101 Copenhagen 創辦人的 Tommy 曾在時尚界工作數十年，意識到時裝界的發展速度太快，總不停地在追趕新系列，讓人難以靜心思考。事實上，做些十年後人們還記得的東西是他的夢想，也是他創作的靈感初衷，自 18 歲便開始收集各式單椅的 Tommy 對家具懷有熱情，於是便毅然投入家具設計，未來計畫推出更多關於戶外家具的規劃，集結過往培養對趨勢觀察的才能，敏銳洞見、捕捉潮流，與 Kristian 共同發想提案，即使需要更多時間閱讀和構思，卻也建構起屬於他們創作的DNA，使產品設計能夠走在前沿。這些品項從手繪草圖到 3D 建模，在多個設計方案中，嚴選出最合適的產品，從開始便有非常清晰的願景，在過程中追求作品細節的深度及意義，最終透過商品系列講述完整具獨特魅力的故事，為空間注入藝術和現代氣息。

Tommy, the founder of 101 Copenhagen, spent decades working in the fashion industry, where he became acutely aware of its fast pace, constantly chasing new collections with little time for reflection. His dream, however, has always been to create something that people would remember even ten years later. This passion for long-lasting design was what inspired him from the start. Having collected chairs since the age of 18, Tommy’s love for furniture led him to shift into furniture design. Looking ahead, the brand plans to introduce more outdoor furniture, leveraging his cultivated ability to observe and anticipate trends. Together with Kristian, Tommy develops design proposals that, while requiring significant time for research and thought, have helped shape the unique DNA of their creations, ensuring that their designs remain at the cutting edge. From hand-drawn sketches to 3D modeling, multiple design iterations are carefully evaluated, with the most suitable product selected from the outset, driven by a clear vision. Throughout the process, they pursue depth and meaning in every detail, ultimately telling a captivating story through their product collections, infusing spaces with a blend of modernity and artistry.

品牌始終以謙遜和開放的態度重新詮釋傳統、開拓新視野，一如品項對70年代設計的融合，強調美學和創新工藝的結合，在那年代背景風格講究的是多彩、隨性，顯然和品牌核心悖離，對於設計團隊而言，無疑是另一層次挑戰和重要的靈感啟發，卻仍能嘗試結合元素創造更多視覺驚喜 ; 而在新推出的「幽靈枝形吊燈系列」（Ghost Chandelier）中，亦結合這些關鍵素材之於空間更多溫暖光線，便以手工設計確保光源分佈和色溫考量，為場域環境注入柔和有生命的色彩，除了碳燒黑、鍍鉻材質，更嘗試以70年代的霓虹燈賦予燈飾現代化的藝術表現。如此不畏開創新道路、勇於挑戰的態度，使101 Copenhagen的發展更加靈活，未來品牌仍持續從創新設計中成長，並在工藝及可持續性方面突破邁進。

The brand consistently approaches traditional design with humility and openness, always seeking new perspectives. For example, their reinterpretation of 1970s design highlights a fusion of aesthetics and innovative craftsmanship. The 1970s were characterized by colorful, casual styles, which, at first glance, seem to conflict with the brand’s core principles. However, this divergence presented the design team with a new level of challenge and inspiration, leading to exciting visual surprises through the combination of various elements. One such example is the newly launched Ghost Chandelier series, which incorporates key materials to bring a sense of warmth to spaces. Handmade with careful attention to light distribution and color temperature, this chandelier bathes environments in soft, living hues. In addition to carbon black and chrome finishes, the design explores the artistic potential of 1970s neon lighting, giving the fixture a modern, artistic flair. This fearless approach to innovation and willingness to embrace challenges has made 101 Copenhagen’s development increasingly dynamic. The brand continues to grow through cutting-edge design, pushing boundaries in both craftsmanship and sustainability.
