Simon Skafdrup and Henning Therkelsen qualified as industrial designers at Aarhus School of Architecture. They run 3PART, which they set up in 1998 and which has since grown to become one of Denmark’s leading design agencies.

3PART works in the borderland between research, innovation and design and finds inspiration by looking beyond the way in which we live. 3PART is therefore not just staffed by designers but also by sociologists, ethnographers and engineers. This fosters new approaches that feed and stimulate the creative process. The aim is to shed light on what’s hidden and give it a new, functional and aesthetic shape based on the simple Scandinavian design tradition.

3PART enjoys widespread recognition in Denmark and Europe, the USA and Asia.
