An Interview with Mette Thomsen of Design Letters

In 2009, former copywriter and journalist Mette Thomsen founded Design Letters. Based in Copenhagen’s Frederiksberg neighbourhood, it’s a brand that takes mid-century typography and applies it to homeware – all with that Scandi minimalist aesthetic; think handle-less cups and pillowcases featuring bold letters, trays lined with pastel colours and a more design-friendly take on children’s cutlery. We sat down with Mette to find out more about the collection and how Danish architect Arne Jacobsen inspired the brand.
