Hans Hornemann

Hans Hornemann was born in 1989 and grew up in Aalborg, Denmark. His interest in design started as a more general fascination with beautiful things. Especially the combination of the aesthetic and the technical preoccupied him, and in his teenage years, he explored architecture and space and experimented with various facets of photography. When Hans Hornemann began university, his eyes were opened to product design, and he focused on this subject throughout his years of study. In 2014, he graduated as a Master of Engineering in Industrial Design from the University of Aalborg. Aalborg is an industrial city, not exactly known for its design companies or studios, so when his studies were over, Hans Hornemann travelled to Copenhagen, where there was more opportunity and a greater international outlook. Once in Copenhagen he became part of Normann Copenhagen’s design team. “I was offered freedom at Normann Copenhagen. The company does not set any specific requirements on who I should be. Just being allowed to be myself and develop my own profile is an exciting and educational challenge.”
