The newly established Danish brand Force of Nature was conceived by Copenhagen residents Stine Kinch and Mads Jonassen, each with a background in textile and graphic design.

This first collection was a throwback to the early Scandinavian Iron Age with an emphasis on metalwork, woodwork and weapon art. The tees are each printed on high quality t-shirts with 100% environmentally friendly cotton.
