We are delighted to announce the opening of our first store at 30 Main Street, Southampton, NY. This tranquil space is a testament to our commitment to natural, high-quality materials and thoughtful design. Our Southampton store is more than a retail space; it’s a sanctuary embodying the håndværk philosophy. Every element, from the flooring to the furnishings, reflects our commitment to quality, simplicity, and sustainability.
This week, we are quietly marking a decade of håndværk. Established in 2013, håndværk stood out as the antithesis of both the unsustainable pace of fast fashion and the excess inherent in traditional luxury labels. Our primary focus remains on crafting essential, unembellished garments for your wardrobe, consistently adhering to the highest standards and sourcing only the world’s finest natural materials.
With a new design team based in Paris, under the leadership of our creative director, Petra Brichnacova, we have thoughtfully developed The Modern Functional Wardrobe – a holistic solution to getting dressed each day. The collection is comprised of timeless, seasonless pieces that create a permanent wardrobe foundation.
The name is derived from an abbreviation of the Latin phrase, Ab Uno Disce Omnes, which translates to From one, learn all.

“The relaxed nature of the people, the proximity to the Baltic Sea, the harmony with natural resources, and the fundamental aesthetic understanding are just a few of the reasons that keep drawing me back to the Danish capital. Perhaps no other city I’ve visited in recent years has captured my heart as often as Copenhagen, and every time I venture out with my camera, I discover something new. I explore the picturesque cityscape on foot, constantly inspired” – JP

The resulting structure gracefully integrates with the landscape, nestled among rocks, lichen-covered terrain, ferns, conifers, and deciduous trees along Norway’s southeastern coast, facing the Skagerrak Sea.
Right out of design school I was making remote control caddies, spice racks, BBQ tools – soulless shit that shouldn’t exist on Planet Earth. That helped me discover very quickly what it was I didn’t want to do, and I didn’t want to design soulless, useless stuff – it was landfill.
A Sanctuary of Restorative Peace
But it is perhaps what is just beyond Amanemu that is the resort’s primary draw. Ise-Shima National park is a hiker’s paradise, filled with beautiful ancient pilgrim trails.
The hotel was built in 1965 by Michael Graham, a British aviator, and Patsy Daszel, an American socialite, and it cascades down a hillside that is planted with rosemary and bougainvillaea.
Interview with Britta Reineke (Ellectric)
Ellectric is the ultimate destination for mobility, design and lifestyle—with a feminine view.
I mean, the materials are central to everything we’re doing, and many times they’re the starting point for a project. We don’t start with a form and then clad it. For us, the form of the building, its character, evolves from materiality we’re interested in, and the materiality we find around the site. We like to make buildings that are very connected to the things that are already there.
Interview with Rasmus Graversen
It was about making well-crafted design out of good materials – good materials are important because they patinate well. And it was about a kind of human empathy – a human approach.
There should be a meaning to the architecture. And having that smallest of details in telling the story is something that’s exciting to us and also to our clients.
Interview with Hans Peter Dinesen
“Basically, we have no business without a healthy forest, without a healthy ecosystem. So it’s important for us, and it’s part of our values: to look after the ecosystem’s wellbeing. We have a responsibility, when we fell trees, to take care of the forest.”
