Danish Designers at CaDot Design and 2DOT

CaDot® Design is a growing community of purely Danish Designers who share the founders’ passion for getting the strong Danish furniture design legacy conveyed to the modern international customer. With the courage to take the lead, develop new and show edge, CaDot® Design is both a community, a brand and a collection run by the two Leeke directors: Dorte Damgaard in Denmark and Kevin Wang in China, in a common goal of get more Danish furniture design out into the world.

2DOT

For our own developments and designs, and for the designers who prefer to be combined with this trademark instead of their own studios with CaDot® Design, we have registered 2DOT® to hold furniture that either does not fit into CaDot® Design collection, but even so are a significant parts of our business and available to our customers maybe even with an exclusivity.

(Anders Zeeb)

We are looking at a brand holding and expressing the great spirit and heart of Greenland.

Anders: “My design is based on the Greenlandic Inuit culture and not least the Greenlandic nature. Two of my designs is from the ULU range, the APU lounge and NAYA dining chair inspired by Inuit`s oldest tool ULU, which has been used since 2500 BC. I have transformed it into an iconic piece of furniture expressing our culture and sharing names with my bellowed family”.

 

Made by Bent

(Lasse Sundgaard)

Originally Made by Bent was a brand driven by Lasse Sundgaard until he decided to become a full-time carpenter and focus more on family. The elegant vase is part of a whole range from Made by Bent, which is cut out for the modern lifestyle hallway, but also very nice in the bed- or living room.
The vase is the one thing remaining in the CaDot® Design collection, even the whole range is still available for the right customer at 2DOT® and can be expanded with new items upon request.
The vase makes a complete hallway for decoration, but no reason to limit yourselves with this nice item that goes well in a series of 4 as well, use it in every room in the bar, the office or the hotel lobby.

Lampemager

(Klaus Lund)

Klaus Lund works with design processes in stylization manner of speaking. His shapes are transformed from the very organic, as he continuously defines lines into the simple and tight shape that characterize the Nordic style. The idea for the Mushroom lamp series is transformed from the image of a light and almost luminescent mushrooms growing out from a piece of wood.

Amtorp Design

(Jacob Amtorp)

Woodpecker is the creation of Jacob Amtorp. It had a difficult birth, being for a long time, evaluated here and there with highly esteemed Design houses, but always ended up as rejected due to difficulties for the production or even being too avantgarde. Together with the two Leeke directors, Woodpecker dining chair underwent some adjustments, which shaped the currently bestselling product at CaDot® Design collection and becoming a large range with Dining table, Console table/desk, Stool, Barstools and we are not ready to stop yet.

In 2021 Jacob Amtorp and Woodpecker was admitted to NIL, the Norwegian yearbook for Designers and Interior Architects which we are all proud. Also, a huge article in a Chinese Furniture magazine gave a lot of credit to Jacob who was invited as speaker of modern Nordic Design.

Jacob: “When I was younger, I was a rather “fanatic” supporter of the functionalistic era in design and architecture. Today I am less fanatic, but I still use some of the principals in my designs by not having elements merely for decoration. On the contrary, every element must have a functional purpose. The choice of materials, shapes and construction must be chosen to meet the specific purpose.

I have noticed that Scandinavian Design appeals to Asian markets. I think Simplicity and function. The right ergonomic quality and proportion. I have a feeling this apply with the Chinese culture as well”.

Furniture design is about much more than just furniture and design. For me it’s about balance. The balance between form and function.

Claus Bjerre Design

(Claus Bjerre)

As one of the very first designers that joined the community, we created “TRAMME” together, and it is still available for mass production for the right customer. TRAMME was one of the first showpieces on our first international fair in September 2019 in Shanghai International Furniture Fair. Claus is an untraditional furniture designer, never afraid of taking a step into the unknown. TRAMME is a fine example, daring to show off as unstable, being the exact opposite.
Claus: “I am a furniture designer and primarily works with traditional understanding of furniture design; with material for mass production, furnishing and furthermore teaches in design.
I graduated from the Danish Design School in the year 2000 from the Institute of Furniture and Spatial art, and took part of my education at the Institute of Furniture Design at Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture, Helsinki Finland. MA. in art history I completed my study of art history in 2014 from the University of Copenhagen. My optional subjects are Design and Architecture.”

How to become a member of CaDot® Design community

Designers can apply to be presented with the community and show availability for the cooperation through the Leeke companies where all the operations and business take place. When a request is placed at Leeke companies for design cooperation, this will be passed on to selected members.

Sometimes a customer’s specified request for ODM, or a gap within the CaDot® Design collection causes the Leeke Directors to seek out a special profile, and the cooperation can be entered by this. It is always the Designers decision whether they want to act as a visible part of the CaDot® Design community or shown with our other registered trademark 2DOT®

We are B2B and B2C
