Jenkins & Uhnger was established in 2015 by Thomas Jenkins (UK) and Sverre Uhnger (NO).

The modular table “Presence” was our first product and since then we have been creating objects in close collaboration with our clients. In 2021 we started our sister company Omhu operating in the crossover of industrial and interior design.

“Through a collaborative process of observation, prototyping and dialogue we aim to create products with identity and content.”

“Working within established categories we challenge archetypes and constraints by bringing a new angle on refinement, function, emotion or technology.”
