About
I'm Mathilde Bess, founder of Ettra, a Danish design studio dedicated to creating universally designed clothing. My work is a fusion of human-centred principles and Scandinavian aesthetics, driven by a deep curiosity about the relationships between people, objects, and the spaces they inhabit.
I believe that design is more than just function—it is storytelling. The products we choose to surround ourselves with can foster a sense of belonging, connection, and identity. Through my work, I aim to create pieces that encourage individuals to reengage with themselves, their surroundings, and the relationships they hold dear.
With a background spanning fashion, sculpture, and interdisciplinary design, my approach blends traditional craftsmanship with digital innovation. At Ettra, inclusivity is at the heart of every design. My goal is to craft clothing that welcomes everyone, ensuring that thoughtful design is accessible to all.
