Spacio introduced 101 Copenhagen (101Cph) to India in 2021, bringing a Danish design brand shaped by Scandinavian design and Japanese influences to Indian interiors. The collection brings together sculptural vases, bowls, decorative objects, furniture and lighting, with a focus on organic forms, considered proportions and tactile surfaces. This video offers a closer look at the brand's design language and how its pieces can bring character to contemporary Indian homes.
What Is 101 Copenhagen?
101 Copenhagen is a Danish design brand known for its blend of Scandinavian simplicity and Japanese influences. Its approach brings together sculptural shapes, balanced proportions and a restrained use of colour to create objects with a distinctive presence.
The collection goes beyond decorative accessories. It includes furniture and lighting, allowing different pieces to work together within a room. A sculptural vase can become a focal point on a console, while a distinctive light or piece of furniture can help define the character of a larger space. Rather than relying on elaborate detailing, the brand gives attention to the form, proportion and surface of each design. This makes its pieces relevant to interiors where individual objects are chosen with care.
Scandinavian Design Meets Japanese Influences
Scandinavian and Japanese design share an appreciation for thoughtful proportions, restrained forms and a sense of balance. 101 Copenhagen brings these influences together in a contemporary design language.
Scandinavian design is often associated with clean forms, practical thinking and a calm approach to interiors. Japanese influences bring an appreciation for organic shapes, visual restraint and the character of individual objects.
In the 101 Copenhagen collection, these ideas come together through:
- Sculptural forms: Vases, bowls and decorative objects that have a strong visual identity even when displayed on their own.
- Organic shapes: Curves and forms that bring a softer quality to contemporary interiors.
- Considered proportions: Designs that can be used individually or arranged with other furniture and accessories.
- Restrained colours: Tones that work with a range of materials and interior colour palettes.
- Tactile surfaces: Finishes that add visual and material interest to a room.
Sculptural Vases and Bowls for Contemporary Interiors
Vases and bowls are among the most versatile pieces in the 101 Copenhagen collection. Their forms allow them to work as decorative objects in their own right, rather than being used only for flowers or storage. A sculptural vase can create a focal point on an entrance console, sideboard or open shelf. A bowl can be displayed on a coffee table or dining table, where its shape becomes part of the overall arrangement.
When styling these pieces, consider their scale in relation to the surface. A larger vase may work well as a standalone object, while smaller designs can be grouped with books, candle stands or other accessories. Varying the height and form of the objects helps create a considered arrangement.

Furniture and Lighting for a Cohesive Interior
The 101 Copenhagen collection also includes furniture and lighting. These categories allow the brand's design language to extend beyond individual accessories and become part of the wider interior.
Furniture helps establish the layout and function of a room, while lighting contributes to its atmosphere and visual balance. When selected alongside sculptural accessories, these elements can create a more connected interior.
For example, a distinctive table can be styled with a sculptural bowl or vase. A decorative light can become a focal point above a dining table or in a living area. The key is to consider how each piece relates to the furniture, materials and other objects around it.
How to Style 101 Copenhagen in Indian Homes
The collection can be introduced into different parts of a home, from entrance foyers and living rooms to dining spaces and bedrooms. Its sculptural forms and considered proportions make it suitable for both restrained interiors and spaces that bring together different design influences.
Entrance Foyers
A sculptural vase or decorative object can give an entrance console a clear focal point. Combine a few carefully selected pieces rather than filling the surface with accessories. The arrangement should relate to the size of the console and the space around it.
Living Rooms
Use bowls, vases and decorative objects on coffee tables, side tables and shelves. Consider how their shapes relate to the furniture, rugs and artwork. A single statement object can often have more impact than a crowded arrangement.
Dining Rooms
Bowls and vases can be used as centrepieces on dining tables or displayed on a sideboard. Choose pieces that suit the table size and leave enough room for everyday use.
Bedrooms
Smaller decorative objects and table lighting can bring character to bedside tables, dressers and reading corners. Keep the arrangement balanced and practical for the space.
Offices and Hospitality Spaces
In executive offices, reception areas and hospitality interiors, sculptural objects can introduce a distinctive design element without taking up too much space. Select pieces that relate to the furniture, lighting and overall character of the setting.
