How to Pronounce Children’s Brand Konges Slojd

How to Pronounce Children’s Brand Konges Slojd? Danish brand Konges Slojd is loved and celebrated for its kitsch, thoughtfully designed children’s clothing, toys & decor. But how do you say it?

Phonetically or by sound it can be heard as Konges Shloyd! (with a harder ‘g’, rather than a ‘j’ in the Konges word)

You can hear it here.

There is no doubt that the name Konges Sløjd is a source of wonder among many customers. The Danish vowel ‘ø’ is also a little mysterious to us non Danes.

You can also be mistaken for thinking the brand is called ‘Kongens’ Sløjd, which means “the Kings”.

However, the first part of the brand name ‘Konges’ refers to the surname of the founder, Emilie Konge, who in 2014 created the first Konges Sløjd product in her cellar in Copenhagen. Emilie inherited her special surname from her great-grandfather.

The second part of the name ‘Sløjd’ is an old Swedish word associated with good solid craftsmanship. A word that is inspired by the fact that Emilie previously produced wooden tables – but which is also aligned with the design philosophy of creating beautiful and durable products with special details and craftmanship.

And so Konges Slojd is in essence Emilie’s good and solid design and style.
