ESTABLISHED IN 2014.
The founders, Mia and Torben Koed, decided to put their 30 years of experience into a new project. It was time for a change and a new challenge. The challenge was to build an ambitious design brand from the ground up with high-quality materials and great attention to the little details. With a drive to create new originals, the WOUD collection is founded upon the idea to look ahead instead of looking back and share the love for honest design.

All the way from Japan to Canada. Each designer has his or her own expression but together they share a modern interpretation of the Scandinavian simplicity.
