Denmark
1. A Danish designer looking for a manufacturer of handmade, allergy friendly, graphic designed carpets. Advice on fabric would also be highly appreciated.
2. A Danish designer looking for a wood manufacturer for his benches and tables. He is only looking for the wood production since he assembles the furniture himself. His furniture is made of laminated wood, and the materials are oak, light ash and walnut.
3. A Danish designer is looking for a manufacturer for his lamp made of mouth blown glass. He currently has a
manufacturer in the Czech Republic, but is looking for another. The lamp consists of 2 parts of mouth-blown glass. Right now, he receives the components from somewhere else and assembles the lamp himself, but ideally the manufacturer should deliver the finished product.
4. A Danish eyeglasses designer is looking for distributors in Europe for their glasses in Nordic design. They are focused on zero waste, so most of the raw materials are bio degradable and all waste material from the manufacturing process gets new life by reusing it in the production of jewellery.

knowledge regarding best point of sale, for instance interior or recreational equipment stores, as well as partnerships with restaurants that are interested in sale and use of the product.
