Gifts that last

Spring Copenhagen is a Danish design company with roots in the Scandinavian design tradition.

We create gifts that last.

The name, Spring Copenhagen, refers to the season where everything grows, the feelings of renewal, and the celebration of budding ideas.

We believe that design and great stories have the power to shape the world we live in, and that every product we create should have a positive impact and inspire to a better everyday living.

Our attention to detail ensures that our products are not only beautiful, poetic, and well-designed gifts for any occasion, but also sparks curiosity and have the potential to become new classics that age gracefully and are passed down through generations. Figurines and living design that are priced affordably so that most people can enjoy them.

Spring Copenhagen’s unique portfolio includes design from the 1930s to the present, developed in collaboration with forgotten, famous, unknown, and up-and-coming designers and idea-makers.

History

Spring Copenhagen was founded by Peter Sørensen and Claus Nielsen in October 2015.

The original idea was to find ways to challenge the established design industry by finding old, forgotten designs, and working with new, up-coming designers.

The idea came about thanks to our first product, which Peter had in his kitchen: The Pepper Bird. The Pepper Bird is an iconic peppermill, produced in Denmark in the late 1950s to early 1960s.

It was created by Sven Erik Tonn-Petersen, also simply known as Tonn-P, and has since become a symbol of the brand.

The Pepper Bird is a perfect example of the way function, craftsmanship and creativity can go hand in hand and achieve perfection. In Christmas 2015, the Pepper Bird was the only product in our portfolio and was sold in only four stores in Denmark.

In 2019, Peter and Claus won the entrepreneurial competition The Road to Victory on Denmark’s largest channel TV2. They ended up winning in front of 700 other companies, a win that led to a 6 million kroner investment. Spring Copenhagen could now focus on international growth and on developing more designs.

Today, Spring Copenhagen works with a wide range of designers, idea makers and families of older designers.

We have a large selection of figurines and living products that are available in over 800 stores and online shops in 20 countries.
