The journey of LIND DNA started back in 2013 with the introduction of their first and eventually most famous and widely used design; the Curve-shaped table mat. The idea back then was to create an innovative, decorative, and functional design for the table mat with the perfect dimensions to place a plate, glass, and cutlery. The shape is timeless in design with a contemporary feel, and with its organic form it complements all types of tables, both round and rectangular, and everything in between. Today, the Curve-shape is synonymous with LIND DNA and now defines the design of many of their creations, extending far beyond table mats.

With deep respect for natural materials and traditional craft in mind, all LIND DNA mats are made in Denmark and crafted from vegetable-tanned core leather leftovers from the fashion and furniture industries—for example, scraps from shoe sole production. This surplus material is granulated into tiny pieces, mixed with natural rubber, and pressed into recycled leather that is OEKO-TEX® LEATHER STANDARD certified. The result is a durable material that allows to explore endless design possibilities in a wide range of colours and textures.

Today, LIND DNA is led by daughter-father duo Mie and Preben Lind, whose passion for design and craftsmanship is still rooted in recycled leather. While Mie brings the Nordic-inspired, minimalist designs to life, with ever focus on the signature recycled leather, Preben focuses on sourcing high-quality local materials and the unique craftsman production in Aarhus, Denmark.
