LOUISE ROE

The LOUISE ROE story is a family story. Day-to-day, Louise works alongside her husband Jan, who oversees logistics and commercial business; her son Emil Roe is the company's brand manager, and her daughter Sophia Roe is a stylist who provides creative input on various projects. According to Louise Roe herself, integrating family into the day-to-day lifestyle of the business has been a huge benefit:

“Bringing my family onboard has absolutely strengthened our brand. Whilst it’s not always smooth-sailing, I truly appreciate that these individuals know me inside out and support me always.”

The LOUISE ROE Design Philosophy
The LOUISE ROE collection explores impeccable designs through a lens of artistic intuition and a deep understanding of generational craftsmanship, gathering inspiration from a variety of sources:

"With her sensory apparatus wide open, Louise captures and filters her environments, constantly absorbing the shapes, hues and details of the city, the nature and the people passing through. The poetry of a dancer’s pirouette, the alluring brutality of a parking lot column, the lines of a plaster balustrade on a Copenhagen roof: the possibilities are limitless."

Graphic lines and functionalism are a big part of the LOUISE ROE aesthetic, favoring simple yet detailed shapes taking inspiration from interior design industry eras including early art deco, 1930s Brutalism, and Bauhaus minimalism.

“Concrete buildings, geometric and sculptural attributes, functionalism, but with details making all the difference, attracts me. I steer away from concentrated ornamentation and focalize light and shadow. I prefer minimal expression but without losing sight of that one detail which makes it all sing.”

The LOUISE ROE Design & Production Process
With a degree in fashion and concept development, founder and head designer Louise Roe Anderson leverages her hands-on experience in the fashion industry to perfect production processes from ideation to the final product.

“It often begins with a need or a question. Should it be an accent piece or a complementing object - a solo performer or a backing group member? I enjoy employing wax to model different shapes, often because a tiny dent with the thumb can make all the difference. It's almost like a balancing act: a small choir of corresponding color and shape.”

The LOUISE ROE range includes vases, cushions, ceramics, glassware, gallery objects, and more. All of the designs are united by the use of honest and organic materials––glass, textile, stone, Oak wood, and ceramic––manufactured in Europe through genuine partnerships with skilled independent craftspeople who have mastered their profession over many years and generations.
