After graduating from the Department of Industrial Design at the Aarhus School of Architecture in 2003, Mikkel Bahr has enjoyed a high-profile career with positions at some of Denmark’s most important architectural firms.

Since 2006, he has headed the design department at Friis & Moltke Architects, where he is also a partner. Mikkel’s effortlessly elegant line and his distinctive ability to unite form and function into a harmonious whole have resulted in a substantial body of modern Danish design icons.

For decades, Friis & Moltke has played a crucial role in defining the clear, uncompromising, and function-driven design language that characterizes Danish architecture and design at its best. Founders Knud Friis and Elmar Moltke’s unique interpretation of brutalist aesthetics—with characteristically robust materials and a direct connection to the surroundings—lives on in the studio, which remains one of the most influential in Denmark.
