About

Nikolai Kotlarczyk is an Australian designer based in Copenhagen, Denmark since 2013. Graduating from the Queensland College of Arts in Brisbane, his experience in Australia was strongly influenced by his time with renowned design and manufacturing house Tait.

Nikolai’s studio focuses on design pieces full of narrative. A strong connection with geography, history, materiality and rituals can be seen within his pieces. Working within a self-expressed refined decorative style, his work aims to simplify the act of story telling through an honest pallet of materials, and bold forms.

His work includes self initiated edition pieces and design pieces for manufactures, and has been shown in a number of international exhibitions including Milan, Paris, Stockholm, Copenhagen and Melbourne.

Nikolai is a member of studio and workshop Hal 4 in Nordhavn, regularly contributes to Australian online publication Yellowtrace, and is a former member and co-founder of the culture-house in Copenhagen's inner north, Øen. He also works in various roles for design companies including Pulpo, New Works and Paper Collective.
