Born and raised in Denmark, Knut Bendik Humlevik is a Danish product designer and creative director of New Works. He studied at the Royal Academy of Fine Arts School of Architecture in Copenhagen, where he met fellow designer Rune Krojgaard - the pair went on to open their own studio together, titled KR, and are now both head designers for the lighting and furniture manufacturer NOR11.

Knut Bendik Humlevik's most prominent accomplishment to date is founding New Works in 2015, a contemporary Scandinavian lighting and furniture brand that creates an intersection between the old and the new; the brand pays tribute to natural materials and sculptural forms and they are a perfect depiction of Humlevik's personal style, combining artistic forms and functionality.

"I have a desire to challenge the industry and what frustrates me is what led to the establishment of New Works. I have a lot of respect for the big players in New Nordic design, but five years ago I struggled to understand why Scandinavian design had become so feminine. Everything felt so clean, I wanted to step away from that." - Knut Bendik Humlevik
