Studio

Copenhagen Crafter is my small design studio in Østerbro, Copenhagen. I make objects that borrow their shapes from nature: mushrooms growing out of the wall and water that stands still.

Hi, I am Magnus

I have a master's in architectural engineering and work with buildings and fire safety day to day. That is where I got the habit of thinking in form, function and detail, and of drawing everything in CAD before it becomes real.

In autumn 2024 I bought my first 3D printer and started making things for our own home. It quickly took hold, and in September 2026 I made the first sale as Copenhagen Crafter. Today everything is designed and made in my flat and basement near Svanemøllen, with 3D printers for both large pieces and the smallest details.

Mushrooms on the wall

I have seen mushrooms growing out of tree trunks in many places: round, soft in shape and still strong enough to stand straight out from the trunk. The way they grow, layer upon layer towards the light, became the mushroom shelves. Small shelves that look as if they have grown out of the wall.

The water

Water has always meant a lot to me. As a former national team rower I have spent countless hours close to the surface of the water, and when I travel I go snorkelling, most recently in French Polynesia. The water art is my attempt to capture the surface, the light and the movement so it can hang still on a wall.

When something is missing

Some things start with a problem. Our sink brush holder at home was neither pretty nor practical, so I designed a new one with room for what we actually use. It turned out that others were missing exactly the same thing.

How they are made

  1. Sketch and CADEvery object starts as a sketch and is drawn in CAD until both form and function are right.
  2. Printing and castingThe mushroom shelves and sink organisers are printed layer by layer. For the water art I make moulds of clay and silicone that the resin is poured into.
  3. FinishingEvery piece is inspected and finished by hand.
  4. Packed and sentCarefully packed and sent from Østerbro.

Materials

PLA
Plant-based plastic that most of the mushroom shelves and sink organisers are printed in. Marble PLA gives the stone-like surface.
PETG
A stronger plastic that handles water and heat a little better. Used when an object needs to take more wear.
Epoxy resin
Poured into moulds of clay and silicone, giving the water art depth, gloss and movement.

Have an idea?

I am happy to make something for your home or your business.
