Heather & Glen Nielsen
At Nielsen Moderne Studio, we create thoughtfully designed pieces inspired by our Danish heritage and the Scandinavian values of simplicity, quality, and lasting beauty. Combining hands-on craftsmanship, traditional lathe work, and precision CNC woodworking with modern UV and 3D printing technologies, we bring together the natural warmth of wood and the possibilities of innovative design. Every piece is created with care to be both beautifully distinctive and genuinely useful in everyday life.
About
The Moderne Collection
The Moderne Collection celebrates thoughtful design, skilled craftsmanship, and the beauty of everyday living. Inspired by Danish principles of simplicity and enduring quality, the collection encompasses three distinct areas: Preparing Boards, Gather Boards, and Serving Dishes. Preparing Boards bring beauty and intention to the daily ritual of making a meal, Gather Boards are designed for sharing food with friends and family, and Serving Dishes present everything from appetizers to everyday essentials with warmth and style. Each piece is thoughtfully crafted to be both beautifully functional and made to become part of life’s daily rituals.
About
The Heritage Collection
Our love for Scandinavian style inspired us to create something new while honoring traditional craftsmanship. The Heritage Collection encompasses three distinct lines: Norsemen, Cellar, and Forge. Norsemen pays tribute to vintage wooden Vikings through hand-turned collectible figures, while Cellar and Forge bring the same sense of character and craftsmanship to functional pieces designed for gathering and everyday use. Created in our workshop using traditional lathe work and woodworking techniques, these pieces have become an important outlet for our creativity and helped spark the joy we continue to find in working with wood.
About
The Harper Collection
The Harper Collection celebrates the timeless artistry of Charley Harper through a curated selection of officially licensed home and travel accessories. Featuring his iconic minimalist wildlife illustrations, each piece is thoughtfully crafted by Nielsen Moderne Studio to honor the original artwork while bringing beauty, function, and joy to everyday life. From travel essentials to home accents, every design reflects our shared appreciation for nature, enduring craftsmanship, and purposeful design.
