Meet Josephine Reich, Founder of JORE, Copenhagen

Here is the short story of Jore: it all started as a side project a hobby I would do outside of my work. I sewed pillows that I sold at my small homemade webshop. But I got the urge to design more interiors. I quit my job in August 2020. It was time to go all-in with JORE and design more items. I always design with the heart.

The most important thing is that I love the items – and then I hope that others like them too. My passion is to make products you will love and own for a long time. I want the JORE universe not to be perfect, but that the imperfect becomes perfect.  My motto is: Be yourself!

The lamps are made in India, by a manufacturer who is very skilled. He specialises in making lamps. 

The glassware is also made in India and is produced by a glassblower who makes everything from re-cycle glass. 

The ceramics are produced in Italy by an Italian family dating back to 1650 who started producing clay pots. Today, the craft tradition is continued and renewed through skilled young workers, the production is processed and decorated by hand.

The placemats and textiles are produced in collaboration with an Indian organization that fights for women’s rights in India and helps them enter the workforce to ultimately support their families.
