Thalea Schmalenberg & Kasper Friis Egelund
Thalea Schmalenberg and Kasper Fris Egelund are a design duo based in Berlin and
Copenhagen.
During their master studies at Royal Danish Academy in 2019 they started
collaborating on projects and found a harmonious fusion of their design philosophies and
processes. Despite diverging paths in the design world after graduation, their connection
remained strong through shared projects, also from a distance.
While Kasper delved into furniture and product design, Thalea specialized in spatial design
for hospitality and residential spaces. This diversity in expertise became instrumental in the
evolution of their 'Fold Family,' as they approached it from multifaceted angles, blending their respective skills.
