COLLECTED is a trivet made from pure polished brass. It consists of two parts that slide together to complete the trivet. This makes the perfect accessory for a beautiful dining table and serves as a functional way to protect your precious table when serving a hot meal for you and your guests. When you are done serving, simply slide the two parts apart and store them in your cutlery tray until your next beautiful hot meal.
I wanted to make the perfect cup, not just for coffee and tea, but also for the eye. More than 30 different cups lead to this final cup. It is made of a curated blend of porcelain. CALM is distinctively Scandinavian with its sharp edges, round curves and straight surfaces, it almost has an architectural quality to it. CALM is perfect for machine washing, and can stay hot for hours if paired with LUCID.
LUCID is a tea light warmer or in german Stövchen made of solid hand polished stainless Steel. It helps keep your coffee or tea hot for hours. In Denmark days can be ice cold and almost as dark as night. This is why Scandinavians like to drink hot tea or coffee and surround themselves with candles for comfort. LUCID can be used for a single cup or a jug. Designed to have references to a classic Scandinavian gas stove. LUCID lets you work uninterrupted for ours or dive deep into your favorite book. Simply place a lid tea candle in the center and enjoy your beverage. It comes flat packed and is easy to assemble.
LUCID in solid brass will come in a slightly changed edition with 3 arms and a smaller frame. This reducer tilting and and makes everything a little lighter.
If you like to complete your morning ritual with an egg, why not honor it with these Scandinavian designed wooden egg cup that extends this experience. Inspired by the old Scandinavian children's game 'æggeløb' this egg cup has been turned from a solid piece of white oak. Each of these wooden egg cups are hand lacquered with three layers of water based lacquer.

Eschel is founded on an urge to create products that outlive fast trends, and from a commitment to design to develop long-lasting and meticulous products based on the Scandinavian design philosophy.
Since 2005 I've been driven by an ambition to pursue designs that will last for generations. Resisting short-sighted trends, and working towards a more considerate way of approaching design.
The world is crowded with objects. A more-is-more culture has taken its toll on the design industry, leading to products that do not live up to the intentions of beauty and functionality, the principles that define great design.
Design is not about compromising on either aesthetics or functionality. For me design is about finding that place where beauty and functionality come together to create something that's better than what's out there already.
My design range consists of everyday items that I have disentangled and re-invented to meet the needs of both beauty and functionality.
It takes patience to go from idea to finished product because great design doesn't come from rushing, but from doing things properly.
