Salto & Sigsgaard

The design company Salto & Sigsgaard was founded in 2004 by Kasper Salto and Thomas Sigsgaard, working mainly in the field of product design, lighting – and also interior. In 2011 Salto & Sigsgaard won the prestigious competition “New furniture for the Trusteeship council chamber in the HQ of The United Nations” in New York. The Trusteeship council was designed by Finn Juhl in the fifties and needed, together with the whole building of the UN, a huge restoration. The room is today perceived as one out of the three greatest Danish architecture masterpieces outside Denmark.

Salto & Sigsgaard has also organized exhibitions like “Mindcraft” for the organization Danish Crafts, held at The Salone di mobile in Milan in 2013. Salto & Sigsgaard was also commissioned to design of stationary furniture inside the internal “foyér” in the famous “Radiohuset” designed by Vilhelm Lauritzen, and build during the 2. world war.

Recently Salto & Sigsgaard has done a huge design and restoration project at The New Carlsberg foundation in Brolæggerstræde, Copenhagen. The project was to design a kind of transit for the art pieces coming in, and going out again, -at the same time exhibiting the art pieces. And also a more permanent residence for the Art books and paintings that is supported by the Foundation was made.
