Danish design — Annika Hoffman & the Sociable Lamp
When a design school internship turns into a real product, you know there’s a good story behind it.
In this episode of The Sociable Kitchen® Podcast, host Julie Broberg talks with Annika Hoffmann, a newly graduated Danish designer whose internship project became The Sociable Lamp — part of Kvik’s Kvik Living collection, created with Danish lighting specialists Frandsen.
Annika shares how her design went from sketch to production, what it’s like to see your first product launched before graduation, and how light can shape atmosphere, mood, and togetherness.
She also reflects on the Danish design tradition, the future of sustainable materials, and why she’s currently inspired by Bauhaus, biomaterials, and 3D printing.
✨ The Sociable Lamp launches in January 2026 — and its story begins here.
