Both designers had a very accentuated background in production and sales of private label furniture, however they wanted something more personal and intimate, something they could be really proud, as explained by director Mia Keod, “We wanted to challenge ourselves professionally. Sourcing products for national and international chains of shops has been our everyday life for the past 30 years – but to build a brand from the bottom with furniture designs to a new customer segment, that was the challenge we chose.” So as a result, they built a wonderful brand from scratch which has now grown into a major design game changer.

At WOUD, focus is on creating elegant and subtle products with attention to every detail. The WOUD-collection is based on simplicity, honesty and high quality. Each design is carefully considered and selected to fulfill the mission of creating long-lasting originals where every product has a meaning, a purpose and a function.

The designer, Laura Bilde disclosed her inspiration behind this, “As a designer, I am very interested in everything that makes everyday life more functional and less complex. I designed Mirror Box at a time when I was living in a small apartment with a narrow and small bathroom. There was no room for storage next to the washbasin. So I wanted to create a mirror that incorporates all the functions needed at the washbasin and hang these functions on the wall.”
