The first interior design brand that combined letters with interior decor
Design Letters® is a Danish design company founded in 2009 by former journalist Mette Thomsen. After a career dedicated to words, first as a copywriter in the advertising industry and later as a reporter and editor at an interior design magazine in Denmark, Mette decided to merge her two passions for words and design, thus creating Design Letters®.
'In 2009, there were absolutely no design letters in the world of interior decor. Only loud and childish letters for wall decoration. Something I would not put in my own home,' says Mette. That's when she decided to launch a completely different series of colorful letters, which later expanded to include the handwritten typography by Arne Jacobsen, dating back to 1937.
The Design Letters® letter collection includes original design products created in Copenhagen, featuring the manual typography from 1937 by the famous Danish architect Arne Jacobsen (1902 – 1971). Design Letters® obtained exclusive rights to use this typography on a range of products, including stationery and accessories, such as the 'life-on-the-go' collection, which includes lunch boxes and thermos bottles.
The company's products are now represented in over 2000 interior stores in more than 56 countries.
