Earlier this year, Cult added &tradition to its portfolio – a Danish design brand dedicated to merging traditional Scandinavian design with modern creativity. The complete collection is now available to explore in Cult’s Sydney flagship showroom, and will soon be available across all Cult showrooms in Australia.
Young in age but mature in values, &tradition was established in Denmark in 2010 with the desire to bridge the ideals of Nordic tradition with contemporary design thinking. By reshaping, redefining and reinventing materials, techniques and forms, &tradition strives for timeless design, honouring past traditions and continuing to create new ones.
Working with established and emerging designers, the &tradition collection spans from the 1930´s to the present day. Through its unique library of furniture, craft meets art, function meets form and material meets its potential.
