Creating
meaningful places

Our purpose

Hvidrum means whitespace — a well-known design concept that emphasises the intentional use of empty space to create clarity and balance. Its idea is to add clarity by giving different elements room to breathe.

We at Hvidrum are dedicated to designing products that function as 'whitespace' in their own environment — enabling and supporting the life around them without drawing too much attention. Our products are designed to serve people as well as possible and consume nature as little as possible.

Production

Hvidrum does not have its own production facility. Instead we utilise a network of contract manufacturers, enabling us to work with the widest variety of materials very locally and avoid long transport distances that would unnecessarily increase our carbon footprint. Production timelines are always agreed separately as part of the ordering process.

Professionals

Hvidrum's lead designer is the company's founder, architect and designer Peter Westerlund. Peter has studied and worked as an architect in both Germany and Finland, specialising in timber construction. Since 2007 he has designed public urban spaces and furniture. When developing new products, Peter works closely with specialists in stone and metalworking to fully utilise the unique properties of each material.
