Modern Design AND Business with a Conscience

Clean modern design is a big part of the kō denmark brand and our products. Our design inspiration comes mostly from my Scandinavian heritage, where we are raised with the principle that "less is more". Simple can be beautiful.

Another Seattle business that deserves special recognition from our point of view is glassybaby. Their handblown glass products are modern and sensible examples of how simple can be beautiful.
The founder of glassybaby, Lee Rhodes, is also an inspiration for so many reasons. She's an entrepreneur and a cancer survivor with a sensible taste for modern design. Lee kindly shares her success with charitable organizations through the glassybaby goodwill program.

We hope to follow in Lee's footsteps as we build our business and expand our product line.
**UPDATE on 18 Feb 2008** It looks like others have recognized the success and vision behind Lee's brilliance! Check out today's article from the Seattle PI: http://seattlepi.nwsource.com/business/351463_retail16.html
