Tine K Home

Today Tine K Home posted these lovely pictures of Tine and her family at the small Moroccan factory of one of their suppliers.  It makes me very happy to see the faces of those skilled artisans who make their homewares.

About Tine K Home Danish homewares brand Tine K Home was founded in 1999 by designer Tine Kjeldsen and her husband Jacob Fossum. The Tine K Home Collection is based on Tine K’s passion for beautiful objects, sweet memories, different cultures, and storytelling. The Collection includes interior, textiles, furniture, and clothes from own designs or as unique findings from different journeys abroad in Vietnam, Morocco, India etc. With her passion for 'cold' colors, the Scandinavian simplicity is combined with handmade items and charming objects from different cultures which altogether creates a warm and cozy atmosphere: "It is the contrast between light and dark which creates the style and atmosphere. Often, the dark colors come from old objects, furniture and carpets from the East. I like pieces that have history, that are handmade and different, and that I can't usually find in Denmark." Today, Tine K Home's head office is placed in Odense. The company has retailers in many different countries. Furthermore, the company has agents in Sweden, Canada, the UK, the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, Spain, and Portugal. Tine Kjeldsen talking about opening her shop - Tine is a huge inspiration for me, she started her business around the same age as I was and it would be a dream to one day be as successful as her.
my own shop, Tine K, which I opened when I was 22, and which was located in Charlottenlund, the town where I lived. My biggest challenge was to trust my own judgment and the purchases I made. Only few interior shops existed back then. To differentiate myself, I decided to sell not only articles from Scandinavian fairs but also other interesting objects from tradeshows in France – Maison et Objets.  This was a new and unique combination of different styles.
This is Tine K's home at Christmas. Isn't it beautiful?! You can view her amazing home here.
