Morten Linde works from his design office south of Copenhagen, having spent the past 35 years solving design challenges for a wide range of companies. Over the years, he has designed for brands such as Bang & Olufsen, Tag Heuer, and Georg Jensen. His work has won numerous competitions and awards including the Copenhagen Park chair and PicPac and he has been honoured with the Red Dot, iF, and IG awards, as well as the Erik Herløw prize. In 2002, he also co-founded the Swiss luxury sports watch company Linde Werdelin, which he left in 2019.
In addition to his design background, he is a trained psychotherapist. This alternative perspective helps him communicate through his work, shaping ideas and concepts rooted in everyday feelings. They can be thought of as short, three-dimensional stories brought to life.
His work is mostly based on geometric shapes, bringing them together into objects that carry a calm, sculptural feel. The goal is to create an honest and emotional connection between the user and the object.
Whenever possible, he collaborates with skilled artisans and craftsmen. He enjoys combining quality, sustainability, and traditional craftsmanship to create meaningful designs.
