KODANSKA
KODANSK A MEANS COPENHAGEN-STREET
AND IS A STREET IN PR AGUE
Marie Graff is the creative soul behind the newly started interior
brand Kodanska, which means Copenhagen-street and is the street
in Prague, where Marie and her little family lived for four years.
Kodanska is interior design with focus on quality and aesthetics.
Marie Graff is inspired by colourful Prague and combines this in-
spiration with the simple Nordic look.
Kodanka's ceramics and porcelain are handcrafted and each item
is created with focus on tactility, colour and design in Marie Graff’s
small studio in the heart of Prague.
Kodanska's new collection is divided into two series with different
expressions. Venko is rustic ceramics, while Chica is stylish and
classic porcelain.
