Medusa-Copenhagen

We are Maj-Britt and Rie Bidstrup – mother and daughter – and the designers and founders behind Medusa-Copenhagen. Since 1997, we have created a pretzel and creative world of quirky smiles and colorful joy, where everything is possible. We never quite know how a product will develop when the first thought is born, because the beautiful and funny figures often have a life of their own and go their own way, just like the twisted minds that created them. However, one thing is absolutely certain. It is exceptional craftsmanship throughout.

It is always the same process from time to time when a new product becomes a reality. We shape the figures, some are modeled in papier-mâché, cut or drawn, and others are put together with glue and glitter. After that, the finished models are ready to be recreated with the utmost accuracy. This is done in moulds, and then the cast units are polished by hand so that they are perfectly fine. Finally, each individual figure is hand-painted exactly like the original basic types. This means that this is a very special craft, which gives the figures their very own and unique expression.
