Why The Dybdahl Co.?

Our collaboration is with a brand with the same values & philosophy as us - who are dedicated to handmaking products and using natural materials within Europe. We have known Henrik Dybdahl and his team for many years, and we have seen the company grow in that time, continually expanding their collection of unique illustrations and designs.

Henrik and his team call themselves “heritage adventurers”. They spend their time going to auctions, archives, libraries and museums where illustrative rare books are waiting to be found, searching for "visual gold from the past", and bringing the beauty of these artworks to a new audience.

The team reproduce these historic illustrations often enhancing, repairing or adding something to perfect the originals without losing their charm.

A collaboration destined for a special edition

We love working with like minded partners and it is always a joy when you find others with similar beliefs, styles and ways of working. We have admired The Dybdahl Co. for their dedication to finding artworks and bringing them to the world.

They have spent hours searching through collections in old and rare books and are on a discovery of finding thousands of fascinating images from different parts of the world and time periods which were drawn to explain topics and educate people.

Beyond that, like us, they are a small team of passionate workers, and visiting them was like being at home: a love for design, trust in customers, an open space full of plants where warehouse/production and office live together, working by hand with traditional materials and practices for products which are made to last for life.
