Danish illustrator and designer Sofie Børsting is based in Copenhagen and educated from the Danish Design School in 2003. After many years of working in the design industry she finally followed her dream and created an illustrated line of products in 2011. They quickly took off, and are now sold in some of the finest designshops in Scandinavia and around the world.

Her work ranges from animal illustration to a more abstract line of work. Sofie describes her work as graphic poetry with a hint of fairytales.

The very detailed artwork is created from a combination of carefully hand dawn botanical elements, collage and gouache.

The new collection Sofie is working on is a collection of graphic and poetic illustrations in calming grey tones, with stories of sensuous imagery from an botanical universe in twilight.

Her inspirations are found in nature, dreams, art and childhood memories.

The illustrations and products propose to be used in the home to create new atmospheric oases, together with items such as plants, sculptures and design.
