Louise Roe isn’t big on 3-D renderings. The Danish designer prefers pen and paper—old school. In fact, she’ll use whatever’s on hand, including a magazine tear sheet to sculpt a model on the fly. (Luckily there’s a great assistant behind her with a knack for sketching and 3-D renderings.) When it comes to materials, there’s no wheel reinvention either. Her brand reflects a reverence for organic materials: travertine, steel, glass, wood. The design? That’s where she gets creative, but the eccentricity lies in the most minor of details. She tweaks the proportions of classic concepts just enough to achieve a new aesthetic harmony.
