Lars Vejen / Architect & Designer MAA

Generelle oplysninger

My professional passion is very simple; I love finding and shaping the good idea!
Enjoy seeing it realized in collaboration with talented people within their separate fields of handcraft, engineering, marketing, sales, logistics. Design thinking when it is best and works in full understanding and acknowledgement of the value of all people involved in a product development.
I use my background as architect to extract the essence of a need. To see a potential in the context of a space, in architecture and in the people without whom none of it would make much sense. Great inspiration is for me found simply by living life! Seeing the way human, things, shapes, nature, structures and elements interacts. Knowledge gathered from years of experience with a wide range of very different professional partners gives me valuable insight and cross-references to enhance my creativity. It is always the same great pleasure finding the right solution.
Finding the balance.

As a just graduated furniture architect I started my career directly at SHL architects working as part of the team on the interior and product design for The Royal Library project in Copenhagen - a building later known as "The Black Diamond". After 18 years in the SHL organization and more than 10 years as Head of Design in SHL Design I have taken over parts of the company and on 1st of September 2014 founded my own design studio.

Interaction with architecture and related disciplines gives me an understanding and empathy that I believe benefits not only the design process, but also the designs, the customers and the end-users. I always aim for the highest possible quality in a classic design to ensure a long lasting life.
Everything is about balance. It is about through dialogue and development to ensure sustainable solutions for both the design, the economy and the environment.

I thank you for your interest in my work!
