Remy Calder, 2026
Copenhagen
(About)
Designer of calm, useful things.
I grew up between a print shop in Aarhus and my grandmother’s pottery wheel, which explains most of my taste. I studied interaction design in Copenhagen and spent seven years at studios in Stockholm, Oslo and Copenhagen before going independent in 2022.
Today I work with a small number of clients each year, usually on one of three things: a product that needs to feel simpler, a brand that needs to feel more like itself, or a system that needs to hold a growing team together.
When I’m not designing, I’m cycling to the coast, collecting old Danish type specimens, or making slightly uneven bowls.

Remy turned a 60-screen banking app into something our customers describe as calm. That word now shows up in our board reports.

We arrived with a lump of clay and a logo our cousin made. We left with a brand that people stop us about at markets.

A rare mix of sharp systems thinking and real taste. Remy delivered the catalogue two weeks early, and it still looks like it took a year.
