Academy Talks Design: Nancy Johnston / House of Tengri

Academy Talks Design is an open lecture series held on Tuesday evenings at 16:15 at Holmen. The programme brings leading international practitioners to Copenhagen to share perspectives, critical insights, and approaches to contemporary design. Open to all, the talks offer a rare opportunity to engage with a broad range of influential voices shaping design practice.

Social and environmental transformation through design

Nancy Johnston isn’t just transforming the luxury industry – she’s rewriting the rules. An award-winning entrepreneur and regenerative designer, she is the founder of House of Tengri, Source Mountain and Noble Yarns® Group, platforms advancing rare noble fibres and sovereign, community-led supply chains, defining a new paradigm for luxury.

A consultant to the United Nations and the Royal Government of Bhutan, she is a recognised leader working at the intersection of art, culture, craft, ecology and economy – restoring value to land, people and heritage.

While the presentation will be streamed from London, attendees are invited to participate in the in-person Q&A in Auditorium 5.
