Helena Christensen

Helena Christensen is a renowned model and acclaimed fashion and art photographer, recognized as one of the original supermodels. She was one of the original founders of Nylon magazine and shares a lifestyle company with her business partner, Camilla Stærk. In her role as BoConcept’s Global Artistic Director, Helena is working closely with new design talent and designing furniture, accessories and fabrics that speak to her effortless sense of style and easy elegance.

Helena was inspired by the serene beauty of Denmark’s small islands when she designed Ø. Neither a traditional sofa nor a typical living chair, it blends the best of both worlds. Having somewhere to retreat in the home is the most important thing for Helena. “My decoration philosophy is to have somewhere to curl up with a book or a cup of tea in as many places as possible in your home,” she says. “With its oversized, welcoming form, Ø invites relaxation, book reading, music listening and dog cuddling.”
