Studio Yolk

Furthermore, their educational journey extended beyond design, as both Morten and Pernille Iben pursued degrees in psychotherapy, adding a unique perspective to their creative work and bridging the physical and psychological realms of expression. The creation of STUDIO YOLK in 2020 became a redefining moment for the couple, an exploration of how they could channel their shared passion for design and art into a collaborative family endeavor.

STUDIO YOLK’s background in psychology is inseparably linked to their art and design background. The therapeutic development they have experienced personally and professionally informs their work, as they see both physical and psychological aspects as interdependent forms of expression. Their creations serve as therapeutic outlets, fulfilling aesthetic and functional needs, while aiming to evoke profound emotions within the beholder. With Morten's focus on furniture and product design and Pernille Iben's expertise in fine art, their collaboration yields purposeful and meaningful designs. 

Central to their design philosophy is the belief in crafting objects that resonate emotionally, creating a sense of tranquility while simultaneously inspiring interaction and creativity. With their diverse talents and collaborative cross-disciplinary approach, the family members behind STUDIO YOLK have woven together art, design, sculpture and psychology, aiming to leave a lasting impact on those who engage with their creations.
