THREE GENERATIONS OF CREATIVITY
The Vagnby name dates back three generations, when Viggo Kristensen (1896-1966) changed Kristensen to Vagnby in 1920.
In the early 80s, Viggo's son Tavs Vagnby (born 1953) began his creative career by developing graphic design and packaging for well-known European brands. Led the way to how non-food products are presented and sold today. In 2005 Tavs and his wife Birgit moved to Hong Kong, and established International Design House, a strong sales and sourcing company, which today is the basis for product development of VAGNBYS products.
The VAGNBYS brand was founded in 2012 as a collaboration between Tavs and his son Marcus Vagnby (born 1981). The brand's objective is to develop products for the good life. Marcus started his career as an industrial designer in 2000 when one of his early designs and inventions was the world's first silicon utility brush. With many more designs to come, and Marcus already made a name for himself in the world of design.
In 2003, Marcus formalized his partnership with Karina Mencke (born 1977) as a duo both in business and private under the name Mencke & Vagnby. Together they design and develop products for VAGNBYS in close cooperation with Tavs.
