We are striving to expand the strong
Scandinavian design tradition with new and
original perspectives from across the world.
We mix colours, shapes, forms and materials to
create carefully crafted and timeless designs that
can work in all kinds of settings. Our ambition is
to create beautiful high quality products making
a positive difference and bringing joy into your
daily life.
H A N D C R A F T E D I N C O P E N H A G E N
All our products are exclusively handmade in
our designstudio in Copenhagen, by skilled
craftswomen from all over the world, using time-
honored traditional techniques handed down
from generation to generation. We celebrate the
uniqueness in our products and believe in the
’Buy less, buy better’ philosophy offering timeless
refined objects and a sense of authencity.

Our dedication to work with the best materials
is combined with a focus on a sustainable
production. We collaborate with Danish
manufacturer Kvadrat and use their surplus
textile production in all our products. This
ensures us a premium quality of materials, a
reduced impact on the environment and a unique
and limited selection of products.
H E A R T T H R O U G H B U S I N E S S
To us good design is about humans. We train
and employ immigrant women, giving them
the opportunity to support themselves and
their families and the freedom to express their
individual skills. Some finds passion in colour
and shape and others draw deeply from personal
experience. Place de Bleu finds passion not
in profit but in making a difference. We take
responsible principles to heart.

Place de Bleu is endorsed by
The new autumn/winter 14 limited edition
collection reflects an overlapping conversation
between culture, colour and pattern. We
have been inspired by the assembling and re-
interpretation of forms, shapes, colours and
textures. When is the form the figure and not
the ground? Is green still green when it looks like
grey? Can a round cushion be square and what
makes up a pattern?
Geometrical motifs are a common theme in
all cultures. From ancient Persia to Chinese
tangrams, to mandalas or Scandinavian design we
all explore geometric designs and mathematical
patterns. From our cross-cultural basis Place de
Bleu wants to challenge conventions and reinvent
a contemporary graphic and geometrical style.
This new collection includes more than 50 new
cushions, seats and poufs and features more
colours, more basics and more vibrant timeless
geometric patterns than ever before. The series
are based on the mingling and matching of
textiles, colours and patterns.
We want complement and interpretation and we
want you to participate in mixing and matching
and creating the perfect selection of accessories
for your home.
We hope you will enjoy our ever growing range as
much as we enjoy making it for you!
