Born in Copenhagen (DK) in 1969. Martin Kechayas is half Danish and half Greek. In 1996 he graduated with a degree in Furniture design form the Danish School of Design in Copenhagen.

Founded in 2009, Nørgaard-Kechayas  is a Copenhagen (DK) based studio, working within the fields of industrial, furniture and lighting design.

Christian and Martin are two very different characters. Where Christian is calm and pensive with a critical approach to design – Martin often charges ahead with lots of ideas and temperament. These differences in skills and personality make for a strong dynamic collaboration between the two designers. The design approach of Nørgaard-Kachayas is problem solving by nature and aims to offer strong visual appeal with innovative technical solutions.

Nørgaard & Kechayas collaborate with new and established companies, such as: ABSTRACTA (S), HAY (DK), MUNK COLLECTIVE (DK), NEW WORKS (DK), WEHLERS (DK).
