Founded in 2009 by former design journalist Mette Thomsen, Design Letters is a Danish lifestyle brand that merges functional homeware with typographic heritage. Thomsen, a self-described "word nerd," launched the brand by securing the rights to the iconic hand-drawn typography created in 1937 by world-renowned Danish architect Arne Jacobsen. This exclusive license became the foundation of the brand’s identity, transforming everyday objects—from porcelain cups to stationery—into personalized design statements defined by clean lines and stark monochrome contrast.
