FALL ISSUE 2012

Poet is the story of exclusive furniture. It is a desk whereby thoughts and crea-
tivity can unfold and generate new ideas and projects. The table is an ode to
classical Scandinavian handcrafted furniture in which quality in materials and
detail is highly prioritized.
But Poet is more than just a desk. It is a tool equal to your computer and your
coffee mug. Poet, besides from the primary desktop, has two built-in shelves
and a drawer where you can store your laptop, notes and pens. This way, your
desk always appears tidy and clean.
Poet is made by FSC-certifed oak veneer and is handcrafted in Denmark by
Nordic Tales own joiners. Legs and desktop are wedged together and so elimi-
nates the need for superfuous materials and components.
The idea of Poet came alive during the designers stay at the school of joiners in Copenhagen,
Denmark. Thus, the table honours solid craftsmanship and at the same time fulfl contempo-
rary wishes of a simple and functional design. Poet appeals to everybody.

HAZEL
by Jonas Hoejgaard
Hazel is the second pendant by Nordic Tales. It is a tiny
light in the dark wintertime. The lamp is made by wood
and metal in neutral colours: black, white and cobber.
The petite pendant uses the latest LED-technology and
provides a warm light imitating daylight by 90 percent.
The light is adjusted by a tiny lens, which offers total con-
trol over direction. Thus, the lamp also appeals to profes-
sionals.
Hazel is part of Nordic Tales story of sustainable high
quality design. The lamp is designed, developed and pro-
duced in Scandinavia and has an estimated lifetime of
50.000 hours. That corresponds to 45 years when using
the lamp three hours a day.
Like all Nordic Tales products, Hazel arrives in a wrap-
ping that can be reused in many ways. But the wrapping
does not just make a difference to you. The package is
processed by a group of autistics in a workshop in Hol-
stebro, Denmark. The workshop gives its attendants an
opportunity to work and earn their own money. That, we
think, is a beautiful tale.

designed to hide the light bulb
sockets on energy saving bulbs.

cent and energy saving bulbs.

signed, reusable packaging. Inside
