101 Copenhagen

What 101 Copenhagen does

101 Copenhagen (legal entity: 101 Copenhagen ApS) is a Danish design company founded in 2017 that designs, markets, and distributes premium furniture, lighting, and home accessories through a Scandinavian–Japanese minimalist aesthetic. The company is headquartered at Østergade 17 in Copenhagen, with a warehouse and distribution operation in Horsens, Denmark. Its catalogue spans over 721 products organized across more than 20 signature design families, including the Drop, Stingray, and Ghost chandeliers, the Toe lounge seating, Big Foot tables, Bow and Brutus stools, and the Bloom, Guggenheim, and Wabi ceramic and glass vase collections. Manufacturing combines handcrafted techniques such as mouth-blown glass, hand-finished ceramics, and fiber concrete casting, with production likely outsourced given the 15-person operating base.

The company operates a hybrid direct-to-consumer and B2B distribution model. The DTC storefront at 101cph.com is the primary sales channel, offering approximately 27 country-currency combinations (EUR, DKK, SEK) and integrating multiple payment providers including Shopify Payments, Klarna, PayPal, Apple Pay, and Google Pay. A dedicated B2B portal at b2b.101cph.com serves interior designers, architects, and trade professionals, supported by catalogues, an image bank, and trade fair participation. Products are configured across multiple size, material, and color variants, with prices ranging from approximately €10 for spare parts to €3,499 for large dining tables. Shipping is currently limited to 20+ EU and European countries, with the UK, Norway, and United States explicitly excluded.

The primary customer segments are design-conscious homeowners and interior design enthusiasts (B2C) and professional interior designers and architects (B2B), with a secondary use case in hospitality and boutique commercial projects. The company emphasizes brand-led, content-driven marketing through Instagram, Facebook, Pinterest, and YouTube, and maintains an active new-collection cadence, with 2025 launches spanning wool velvet lounge upholstery, glass tables in golden caramel, and a four-color ceramic refresh, followed by a Spring 2026 collection. The company is privately held, with no disclosed investors, funding rounds, or M&A activity.
