Nordic Minimalist Favorites from Kristina Dam

Sculptural furniture, objects, and accessories from an iconic Danish designer

Kristina Dam Studio embodies sculptural minimalism through her striking and high-quality collection of modern furniture, objects, and home accessories.

Founded in 2012, Kristina Dam Studio introduces two new collections each year, collaborating with upcoming and established designers on new pieces for the home.

Kristina Dam sees sculptural minimalism as a place where art and interior design merge. The intention is for each piece “to add something to the room – give it character and attitude.”

Take a look at our Nordic minimalist favorites from Kristina Dam Studio, including sculptural furniture, objects, and home accessories.

Kristina Dam Studio: Sculptural Furniture

The Modernist Furniture Collection

The Modernist furniture collection is a nod to modern design while keeping Kristina Dam’s distinct aesthetic.

Modernist Sofa | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

The Modernist Sofa balances soft and industrial with the soft and lovely curves of the soft upholstery and the sturdy stainless steel frame. The upholstery comes in grey wool or beige bouclé, both high-quality materials. The 2-seater Modernist Sofa is the perfect companion in a spacious living area or styled alone in a small living space.

We love the neutrality, warmth, and subtle texture of both the soft grey wool material and the fuzzy beige bouclé. Complete the set with the Modernist Lounge Chair!

The Bauhaus Furniture Collection

The Bauhaus collection is inspired by the Bauhaus style of architecture made popular by the Bauhaus Art School in Germany. Each piece is functional, comfortable, and artistic and comes in black or beige. Made with durable steel and a weather-resistant powder coating, all Bauhaus furniture from Kristina Dam Studio can be styled indoors or outdoors on a patio.

Bauhaus Furniture Series | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

Wine and dine comfortably with the Bauhaus Dining Chair and Bauhaus Dining Table. We love the minimal look of the round table that can seat several people comfortably. The Bauhaus Dining Chair can also be styled alone as an accent chair in just about any room.

Serve drinks and food both in and out of the home with the rolling Bauhaus Trolley. You can also choose to use it as a side table or a minimal surface for your favorite sculptural objects.

The Bauhaus Lounge Bench invites you to take a nap, read a book, or have a conversation, adding architectural character wherever you choose to place it.

The Grid Furniture Collection

Each piece from Kristina Dam’s Grid collection is made with perforated powder-coated steel in either beige or black.

Grid Sideboard | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

The Grid Sideboard comes with one shelf and three doors, with a nice wide surface on top for arranging design vignettes. You can even use it as a TV and electronics cabinet.

Grid Cabinet | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

The Grid Cabinet comes with two shelves, perfect for a dining room or living space. We love how the perforated powder-coated steel lets you slightly see what items you store within.

Take your storage to the walls with the Grid Wall Shelf––Nordic minimalism at its finest! 

Sculptural Tables

Pedestal Table | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

Kristina Dam’s Pedestal Table is made for displaying your most cherished pieces that also acts as its own minimal sculptural without distracting from whatever you choose to display. The geometric form gives the piece a new perspective based on where in the room you view it.

Arch Table | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

The Arch Table is another powder-coated steel piece of furniture from Kristina Dam. She chose to work with this material because it’s smooth and durable. The curved arch softens the design while remaining minimal enough to be styled in a variety of rooms depending on your preferred aesthetic. Use it as a side table, bedside table, or as a podium for your favorite sculptural objects. 

Curved Side Table | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

Love the curves of the Arch Table? You’ll love the Curved Side Table just as much. It comes in black, beige, and stainless steel. Use the curves of the legs to store items, or leave it open for an airy look.

Kristina Dam Sculptural Objects

Monolith Vase | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands 

Kristina Dam vases are sculptural objects, with a design that speaks for itself, with or without flowers. The Monolith Vase's concrete-like interior provides a rough texture and an industrial look. Pair it with the Small Monolith Vase, or style both on open shelving.

Lacuna Shape | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

The word lacuna means ‘unfilled space,’ which perfectly encapsulates the Lacuna Shape sculpture. Made with light grey sandstone, this handcrafted design has an organic look with carefully designed smooth and rough texture throughout. While considered a sculpture, the unfilled space can become a home to little treasures, too.

Suede Box | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

Store trinkets and treasures in the Small or Large Suede Box, made with natural travertine and quality suede. Style them together, solo, or with other pieces from Kristina Dam’s collection. The beauty of her aesthetic is how beautiful everything looks in one space.

Cupola Sculpture | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

The Off-White and Tobacco Brown Cupola Sculptures are three individual architectural pieces inspired by ancient arches and pillars. This playful sculpture invites you to arrange each piece to your heart’s content, either together or thoughtfully throughout a space.

 Globe Sculptures | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

The Small, Medium, and Large Globe Sculptures are made with terracotta. Each size is a different earthy neutral color, flowing organically within any minimal Nordic interior. Shown here is the Small Globe Sculpture glazed with a beige engobe.

Kristina Dam Bowl | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

The Small, Medium, Large, and XL Bowls are each made from terracotta with a grey engobe. Each size has a glazed interior, making it water-resistant and ready for house plants or fresh stems. Although each bowl varies in size and shape, the distinct grey color and textured bands unite each piece. Shown above is the Large Bowl.

Kristina Dam Dome Vases l | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

The Extra Small, Small, Medium, and Large Dome Vases is yet another cohesive series of sculptural objects from Kristina Dam. Shown above is the Large Dome Vase, with a medium-sized opening perfect for branches. It’s large enough to be displayed on the ground. The other pieces are the same color and terracotta material that each play with different shapes and openings.

Setomono stoneware l | Nordic minimalist designs from Kristina Dam Studio | Batten Home - Modern Scandinavian Home Decor and Furniture from Danish Design Brands

Kristina Dam’s collection of sculptural objects extends to the kitchen, too. Her Setomono collection includes a striking array of matte and neutral-toned tableware inspired by Japanese minimalism. These modern stoneware pieces are designed to be displayed, while functional enough to use daily for years. Many pieces are stackable, perfect for displaying on open shelving. The Capsule Carafe and Glass Set is another favorite, designed to elevate the daily ritual of hydration. Just like the Setomono collection, this set is stackable, too.
