Biography

Benjamin Nordsmark is an Artist and Cabinetmaker that by combining his education and skills with his creative mind he makes sculptural furniture in limited editions and a variation of different art pieces.
By education he is Cabinetmaker and has a Masters of Fine Art from the Royal Danish Academy of Art from 2011. He had decided upon these two educations from the age of 14.
By working in a variety of different places such as the Design Academy, Technical school and workshops in different parts of the world, he has built up a solid body of craftsmanship that seems to show no limit to his mind.

Most of his inspiration is found in other areas beside design: especially art, architecture and different cultures that all have a great influence on his creations.
His approach of making production pieces into unique items with a high sense of quality and strong eye for details, has changed remarkably over time.
