FOR THE LOVE OF DESIGN
Design shapes the way we see the world, inspires the people we collaborate with and brings meaningful experiences into everyday life. We believe great design is created through curiosity, creativity and the courage to explore new ideas. From our collections and creative collaborations to the talents we support, we are constantly inspired by the people, places and stories that fuel new perspectives and fresh ideas.

CELEBRATING CREATIVITY
Every year, we shine a spotlight on some of the brightest new talents in our industry through the BOLIA DESIGN AWARDS – a tradition filled with inspiration, courage and fresh creative energy. It is our way of supporting emerging designers, opening doors and welcoming new voices into the world of Scandinavian design.
Many winning designs have even found their way into our collection, with royalties paid directly to the designers, marking the beginning of collaborations that continue to grow, thrive and inspire.
Because creativity deserves to be celebrated. Always
Collaborating with other creative minds is a natural part of how we explore new ideas and visual expressions. Twice a year, we unveil a new design collection – a journey built around connection, creativity and new beginnings. In collaboration with world-renowned designers, stylists and creatives, we develop each collection and shape our visual universe through The Lab and other unique locations where ideas come to life.
Explore our creative partnerships
Fresh off the press and filled with inspiration for your dream home, the new JOURNAL and BRANDBOOK invite you into a world of beautiful interiors, timeless craftsmanship and Stories of Love.
Carefully created over several weeks at The Lab in Copenhagen, the entire visual universe has been thoughtfully styled by Mathilde and Stine Friese, and beautifully documented by Oliver Knauer, Pia Ulin and Henrik Bülow. Created without the use of AI and printed in Europe on FSC™-certified paper, every page is crafted with the same care and attention to detail as the designs it features.
Pick up your complimentary JOURNAL at your local BOLIA store or order the exclusive BRANDBOOK online.
At 3daysofdesign, we shared a glimpse of our upcoming collection and new design universe – and explored creativity together with the people who inspire us. In our flagship store at Holmen in Copenhagen, we worked with inspiring creatives to shape an exhibition that brought the experience to life.
It was a real pleasure to meet design lovers from all over the world and share the days with so many curious and creative minds.
MEET SOME OF THE WORLD’S MOST TALENTED DESIGNERS
Behind every design is a person, a story and a way of seeing the world, driven by curiosity, vulnerability and the courage to imagine something new. Something even better. That is why our designs are shaped through close creative collaborations with talented designers from across Europe and beyond – from emerging talents to established studios, some of which have been with us for more than 20 years.
