Kodanska

Behind Kodanska is designer and CEO, Marie Graff. Kodanska means Copenhagen Street in Czech and is the name of the street in Prague where Marie and her family lived for a number of years. Marie's husband, Anders, was stationed in the country and this gave Marie a completely new everyday life with plenty of time and space for her innate creative urge and drive within entrepreneurship.

This is where the idea for the company Kodanska arose. Marie was missing a salt jar in the home and could not find a version where both function and aesthetics went into a higher unity. This was the start of a collaboration with a local potter, who made Marie's ideas about the ideal salt jar a reality. The salt jar quickly became popular with friends and family and before long Marie was at a fair for up-coming Danish designers.

The Kodanska adventure suddenly took off. At the same time, Marie's interest in Czech glass art grew and new products were created in collaboration with a local glassblower in Prague.
