Скачать или смотреть An Exclusive Look Into Jakob Wagner’s Design Philosophy - By Nordgreen Watches

Meet the man behind Nordgreen’s watches, Danish design staple Jakob Wagner. Learn how he works and what makes him tick. With over 25 years running his own studio, and having worked for multiple iconic brands such as Bang & Olufsen, Alessi, Moroso, Cappellini, and HAY, this is a chance to get insight into his design philosophy.

During his 25 years of running his studio, Jakob has honed a style that is quintessentially Danish: elegant, simple, balanced, and timeless. What sets him apart, however, is his ability to integrate functionality into his designs. Wagner’s background in mechanical engineering grounds his designs in the user experience, so that in everything he creates, he carefully considers not just the look of the object, but how its user will want to interact with and create a connection to it.

Besides having created products for iconic brands, Jakob also has an exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art (MoMa) in New York, and he is also a part of the jury in the Danish Design Awards.
