Studio Embla is founded by architect Frederik Bo Bojesen, based in Copenhagen, Denmark.

With a wide range of experience Studio Embla engages with all scales of spatial and object design, with a special interest in wooden construction.

A trained carpenter, Bo Bojesen studied architecture at the Architectural Association in London, winning the Pozner Prize for his thesis project. During his studies and for several years after he worked with the renowned Swiss practice Herzog & de Meuron in London (UK), Basel (CH) and Copenhagen (DK) on projects such as the Tate Modern 2, the M+ Arts Museum in Hong Kong and the New Hospital North Zealand, north of Copenhagen. Aside from working as an architect he has participated as a guest critic at Bristol and Oxford universities and exhibited in Canada and England. 

Studio Embla is named after the first woman in Nordic mythology, Embla, carved by the gods from a piece of driftwood found on the seashore. Firmly rooted in both craftsmanship and design, we draw and build, from object to inhabited space, with a respect and understanding of materiality as the starting point, and with functionality and beauty as the ultimate product.
