Who found Otto?
This was the name of EBB & FLOW founder and creative designer Susanne Nielsen’s first company. After spending 16 years in London, UK, working as a sales agent for a renowned Danish interior company, Susanne returned to Aalborg, Denmark’s fourth-largest city.
She then founded “Who Found Otto?”, named after her cat and best friend. Susanne traveled to Eastern European countries to buy furniture and interior design objects to sell in Denmark.
It was during this journey that EBB & FLOW began to take shape. By transforming old glass vases and wine balloons into pendants, Susanne discovered a market for glass pendants. Soon, the first drawings and samples were created, leading to the official founding of EBB & FLOW in 2009.
The name
EBB & FLOW symbolises more than the movement of the tide; it reflects life's rhythm. Everything recedes and returns, with nothing remaining static.
The brand
Today, EBB & FLOW boasts a wide range of award-winning Danish designs, all crafted by Founder and Designer Susanne Nielsen.
Inspired by perfume bottles, jewelry, and British antique markets, Susanne focuses on organic shapes, quality raw materials, and meticulous detail.
EBB & FLOW is a brand of liberation and meaningful interior design, eschewing fashion trends in favor of bespoke lighting that adds character and personality to any space.
Our collection ranges from simplistic elegance to sculptural statements, including table and floor lamps, wall lamps, pendants, surface lamps, and fabric lampshades made by hand from glass, crystal, brass, and luxurious fabrics.
With a variety of lighting in different colors, shapes, and sizes, EBB & FLOW encourages you to let your personality shine.
