Copenhagen-based designer Emilie Holm explores the intersection of object, textile, and color, creating tactile experiences that challenge perceptions of proportion and contrast. Through her multidisciplinary approach, she crafts everyday objects that evoke curiosity, imperfection, and emotional connection. With a background from The Royal Danish Academy and Design Academy Eindhoven, she seeks to enrich daily life by reawakening the senses through materiality and form.
TACTILITY IN FORM AND COLOR
At the core of Emilie Holm’s practice is a deep exploration of material and texture, where contrasts in scale, color, and surface come together in unexpected harmony. Her work challenges the dominance of pure functionality in everyday objects, instead inviting a more sensorial interaction. Each piece carries a deliberate imperfection - an organic asymmetry that encourages touch, reflection, and curiosity. By embracing the inherent character of her materials, she creates objects that feel alive, evolving with use and time.
AWAKENING THE SENSES
Emilie Holm believes that design should not only serve a purpose but also evoke a feeling - an instinctual response rooted in our innate connection to texture, form, and balance. In a world that often prioritizes practicality over presence, she seeks to reintroduce the forgotten language of tactility. Her creations are an invitation to engage, to pause, and to experience the richness of material in its purest form.
