After meeting at Aalborg University in 2005, Jasper Overgaard and Christian Dyrman began working on several student projects together. Three years later, and with a Bachelor of Science on their CVs, they both moved to Copenhagen and started at The Royal Danish Academy of Fine Arts Schools of Architecture, Design & Conservation, from where they graduated in January 2011 with a Master of Furniture and Spatial Design. What started as a friendship between two classmates, grew into a collaborative partnership. The studies became a playground for exploring crafts, to gain comprehensive knowledge about materials and technologies, and to evolve individual and collaborative skills. Those years undoubtedly set the foundation for what would later become Overgaard & Dyrman.
