Nicolas studied Furniture Design at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts and Economics at Copenhagen Business School — a pairing that shapes how he thinks about products: beautiful, functional, and commercially honest.

As CDO, he oversees every product from first sketch to production. He co-founded Better Objects with his sister Isabel and their partner Kåre, after years working at the intersection of design practice and business strategy.

Nicolas writes about the design decisions behind Better Objects products — why things look the way they do, what materials are used and why, and what it actually takes to make a reusable product that people choose over its disposable equivalent for the rest of their lives.
