FALL ISSUE 2012

Poet is the story of exclusive furniture. It is a desk whereby thoughts and crea-tivity can unfold and generate new ideas and projects. The table is an ode to classical Scandinavian handcrafted furniture in which quality in materials and detail is highly prioritized.

But Poet is more than just a desk. It is a tool equal to your computer and your coffee mug. Poet, besides from the primary desktop, has two built-in shelves and a drawer where you can store your laptop, notes and pens. This way, your desk always appears tidy and clean.

Poet is made by FSC-certified oak veneer and is handcrafted in Denmark by Nordic Tales’ own joiners. Legs and desktop are wedged together and so elimi-nates the need for superfluous materials and components.

The idea of Poet came alive during the designer’s stay at the school of joiners in Copenhagen, Denmark. Thus, the table honours solid craftsmanship and at the same time fulfil contempo-rary wishes of a simple and functional design. Poet appeals to everybody.

HAZELby Jonas Hoejgaard

Hazel is the second pendant by Nordic Tales. It is a tiny light in the dark wintertime. The lamp is made by wood and metal in neutral colours: black, white and cobber.

The petite pendant uses the latest LED-technology and provides a warm light imitating daylight by 90 percent. The light is adjusted by a tiny lens, which offers total con-trol over direction. Thus, the lamp also appeals to profes-sionals.

Hazel is part of Nordic Tales’ story of sustainable high quality design. The lamp is designed, developed and pro-duced in Scandinavia and has an estimated lifetime of 50.000 hours. That corresponds to 45 years when using the lamp three hours a day.

Like all Nordic Tales products, Hazel arrives in a wrap-ping that can be reused in many ways. But the wrapping does not just make a difference to you. The package is processed by a group of autistics in a workshop in Hol-stebro, Denmark. The workshop gives its attendants an opportunity to work and earn their own money. That, we think, is a beautiful tale.

BRIGHT SPROUT

Bright Sprout is a wooden fixture designed to hide the light bulb sockets on energy saving bulbs. With its soft, Nordic design it turns an important everyday function into an aesthetic experience.

Bright Sprout must be combined with a cord and a light bulb at your wish and is designed to fit most incandes-cent and energy saving bulbs.

The product arrives in a special de-signed, reusable packaging. Inside you find Bright Sprout enclosed by wood shavings. Ready for picking and mounting as soon as you get home.
