A good fit

Kontrapunkt fits organizations that need a single Copenhagen-based team for brand strategy, visual identity and long-form storytelling, spanning early-stage rebrands through to sustained design-system partnerships for large public institutions and multinational companies. Its published client list spans Danish banks, transit authorities, ministries and museums alongside international manufacturers and consumer brands, and the firm is B Corp certified. A Tokyo studio supports clients across Japanese and wider Asian markets, so buyers with both Nordic and Japanese stakeholders match its stated footprint. The site is published in English.

Notes

Kontrapunkt was founded in Copenhagen in 1985 and publishes offices at Nikolaj Plads 2, 1067 Copenhagen K, Denmark, and in Tokyo's Jingumae district. The official contact page lists a generic business email and a Danish company phone number as the buyer contact destination; the site does not publish a project-brief form. Team size and individual client-outcome figures are not published, so they are omitted here.
