Nordic identity is a competitive advantage

In a globalized world, local identity is becoming increasingly valuable.

Nordic culture is among the world’s strongest brands. It is associated with quality, trust, functionality, honesty and simplicity. Values ​​that people all over the world already associate with the Nordic region.

But Nordic identity is more than design. It is expressed in communication, leadership, collaboration and the way we meet people.

Our cultural heritage dates back to the Viking Age. Although the period is often reduced to tales of war and plunder, it was also built on independence, action, straightforwardness and pragmatism – values ​​that continue to characterize Nordic societies.

We help companies, organizations and institutions reinterpret this heritage and translate it into a contemporary identity. Not by copying the past, but by letting its principles inspire the design, communication and culture of the future.

We answer, among other things:

  • How our Nordic roots can strengthen our brand.
  • How tradition and innovation can go hand in hand.
  • How we can appear distinctly Nordic – without seeming old-fashioned.
  • How we create an identity that is both local, authentic and international.

Nordic Design

Nordic design is known worldwide for simplicity and high quality, where the materials speak for themselves, and for clever hidden details.

Every object has something extra to offer the patient observer and frequent user.

Usability – often multifunctional – is paramount, and if an object needs an introduction or manual, it is not good enough.

This attitude is found in everything we do, from interior design to web design.

The way we work and do business is shaped by the Viking spirit: direct and honest with integrity and pride.

Quotations and invoices are inseparable from each other, and all drawings, codes and original files belong to the customer.

Personal responsibility in the community

“Trust is given – respect is earned.”
Within this framework, we work with personal responsibility in the community.
It can be expressed as simply as this: No matter where you are in the organization, you serve your own interests best by working for the benefit of the community; trusting that your employees will do the same, and with respect for those who deserve it. (Read also about Felag)
In Denmark, the vast majority of organizations have a very flat structure, everyone is heard and contributes equally, but it is important that it works smoothly.
All too often, two people do one person’s work, or no one solves a task that is so obvious that “someone will do it soon”.
Agreements must be made and delegated, not only from case to case, but also in the long term.
This is where “Felag”, “Thinget” and the “5-meter boss” comes in.
This is not a workshop at a conference center in South Funen, where a retired industrial psychologist mocks you for competing when you should be collaborating, and uses metaphors about climbing mountains, but tangible tools that make sense in everyday life, at work, at home and in public space.

Þing Smiðja Workshop

A workshop and team building experience that will strengthen your company, both internally and externally.

Participants work with concrete situations from everyday life and experience how an organization becomes stronger when you help each other, share knowledge and take responsibility – even when the problem actually lies outside your own job description.

A workshop for organizations that want less “it’s not my responsibility” – and more “we can do it.”
