Baum und Pferdgarten was established in Copenhagen in 1999 by Rikke Baumgarten & Helle Hestehave, who had just graduated from the Royal Danish Academy of Design. They created the brand name as an interplay between their surnames, and it reflects the dualistic playfulness, which is also echoed in their design. Their collections are filled with clashing contrasts, strong colours and memorable prints as the fundamental design DNA.
