Meet Emma Krab-Johansen, JORE, Copenhagen

If money wasn’t an issue, what furniture piece would you buy?

Hmmm…. Either a built-in closet for my bedroom, that’s very high on my utopian wish list or a giant dutch vintage tulipiere vase.

If you moved house tomorrow, what one piece of homeware would you take with you?

That’s a really hard question. I’m quite emotional about the things I surround myself with. I would definitely bring the benches my sister Agnes has made for me, they are irreplaceable to me.

But I would also bring the plates my sister-in-law made for my wedding. She made a set of 5 cake plates, with details from the wedding invitation she made us.

Where do you shop for homeware in Copenhagen?

Well, most of the items in my home are of course from Jore Copenhagen where I work. Otherwise, I love buying little items at Beau Marche on Ny Østergade, or Dora on Værnedamsvej. Mother on Blaagårdsgade has really good second-hand pieces, I bought a really cute ceramic chicken for salt there a while ago.

Tell us about your favourite Jore Copenhagen pieces.

I love the Parasol lamps, I think they are so clever. They are so simple but give off such a huge impact. And the same with the little mushroom table lamps, so easy to use, but such a showstopper.

I love all the plates 😀 I have one of each at home, so I can mix and match when I have friends over for dinner.

And the little saucer has become such a big part of my kitchen, I use it for everything. As a coaster for warm coffee kettles, serving butter or just snacks for myself.

Can you give us a sneak preview of the next Jore Copenhagen collection?

We are working on a really nice mirror at the moment, so hopefully that will be ready in not too long.
