Kasper Kyster

Kasper Kyster is a Danish furniture designer born in 1994 and working from The Factory for Art and Design in Copenhagen’s Amager district. He graduated from the Royal Danish Academy in 2022 with the master’s thesis Intuition As Method, and his practice moves between prototypes, one-off objects, exhibition design, curation and his own small-scale production.

Materials and craft come first: he bends PETG sheets by hand into chairs and tables for Crafting Plastic, a solo exhibition supported by the Danish Arts Foundation in 2024, and builds lights such as Strata from a steel bracket, an acrylic diffuser and an LED. He co-founded the platform for young designers Ukurant in 2019, was named Talent of the Year at the Danish Design Awards in 2022, and designed the Re-Work table and stools and the Tribute lamp for oursociety.
