Tell us about your background?
We’re Tina Vanda Schou and Sofie Edvard Nielsen. Both educated from Danmarks Designskole, Copenhagen Denmark, in 2005. We have both been studying in Holland for a period during our education.
What is the vision of the company?
Keep on experimenting and being creative. To inspire the world with colors.
Where does the name come from?
The name DEVANDERVAR is an anagram of our middle names Vanda and Edvard. We also chose this name, because we liked the idea of our two personalities as a new unified whole, DEVANDERVAR. Besides that, we like that everyone finds their own meaning with the name. It is our experience that the name gives people different associations and thereby the name itself means something different to everyone.
