ORIGINAL SCANDINAVIAN DESIGN

Place de Bleu is acclaimed for our unique

geometrical design and the elegant look

and feel of our products. We combine the

simplicity of Scandinavian design with a world of

exquisite skills and inspiration. We mix colours,

forms and materials to a design inspired by

traditional patchwork, meticulous in details and

characterized by different structures and nuances

of textiles, cut in different geometrical forms.

HANDCRAFTED IN COPENHAGEN, DENMARK

We strive to keep traditional craftswomenship

alive and celebrate the uniqueness in our

products. Place de Bleu is a local workshop in

a global world with a range of women sewing,

knitting and crocheting on the basis of exceptional

skills inherited through generations. We push

boundaries, redefine and reinvent materials and

dare to challenge conventions.

HIGH-QUALITY MATERIALS & SUSTAINABLE PRODUCTION

Our dedication to work with the best material

is combined with a focus on a sustainable

production. We collaborate with the renowned

Danish textile manufacturer Kvadrat and use their

surplus production in our designs. This ensures us

the highest quality of materials, a reduced impact

on the environment and a unique and limited

collection of products.

SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY

We believe that behind every decent product lies

passion, pride and a good story. Place de Bleu

is a design business that works not for profit,

but for hope and a better future for some of the

most marginalized people in the Danish Society;

immigrant women without formal education and

experience. We believe that if you meet, and

treat, people with both respect and expectations

everyone will bloom!

WELCOME TO SS14

Beautiful materials, a dramatic and delicate colour

palette and strong shapes make this Spring/

Summer 2014 a collection to remember.

We have found inspiration, in the meeting between

the Nordic cold, grey and dramatic and the estival

promise of sensuality and delight. To this we have

added the 1950’s talent for pairing the cool and

solid grey with pastels like pale pink, pistachio

green, light blue, lavender, melon and lemon

yellow. And in this collection you will find warm-

cold combinations that strike just the right note!

The rich materials and textures in our products

both look and feel like silk and suede, but they are

much more lasting. We have a desire to emphasize

quality craftsmanship and longevity in design. In

tune with the ’Buy less, but better’ philosophy,

beautiful and durable materials are all-important!

In this collection it’s all in the mix, of colours,

materials and textures. Whatever the combination,

the idea is to add layers of interest and create a

feast for the senses; eye candy and tactile delight.

Get ready to be inspired!
