Knut Bendik Humlevik co-founded New Works in 2014 with the help of Squarespace, and now they've opened a new showroom in Copenhagen.

The following post is brought to you by Squarespace. Our partners are hand picked by the Design Milk team because they represent the best in design.

In 2014, Knut Bendik Humlevik co-founded New Works and took on the role of creative director in addition to designing his own pieces that would contribute to the lifestyle collection they were building. We caught up with Knut to get a better picture of how New Works has changed in the past five years, their new showroom, and what it was like using Squarespace to get New Works? site off the ground and running in a short amount of time while taking advantage of the gallery pages feature.

New Works is a Copenhagen-based lifestyle company that runs on the core values of respecting the natural materials they work with, experimenting with other artists and designers in their work, retaining the tactility of each piece, and hanging onto the craftsmanship of everything they create through the end of the process. Working together with a close group of international collaborators, New Works strives to create sculptural objects that have their own voice while also complementing one another.

We dug right into Knut?s mind, asking how New Works came into existence and how previous roles in his career led to opening his own agency.
