JESPER K. THOMSEN
Copenhagen, Denmark
Jesper is a versatile talent, both a creative industrial designer and a detail-oriented inventor. His dedication to any product he works with stems from his holistic approach to innovation and problem-solving. His own aversion to handling and storing large extension plates when hosting many guests led him to the ingenious design of a table with an extendable top. This unique solution resulted in a patent in cooperation with mindo and the backbone of a large range of extension tables and benches, namely the mindo 111 series

Central to Christian’s design philosophy is the aim that his furniture serves a purpose and is functional, regardless of its sculptural aesthetic.
