Wild Crafted Home
KnaST is a small design and interior shop in the heart of Nørrebro. We have been around since 2015, when Anders and Carla first opened the doors to their wonderful universe of handmade furniture and ceramic art.
Today we are a collection of designers and craftsmen who all share the desire to create unique products. Common to all of us is our interest in materials, creativity and craftsmanship translated into a modern Nordic design.
In KNaST everything is locally produced and the products are therefore most often produced in smaller quantities.
