Grethe Meyer was born on 8 April 1918 in Svendborg and died on 25 June 2008. In 1947, she graduated from Kunstakademiets Arkitektskole. From 1944–1955, she co-authored the textbook “Byggebogen”, and worked at Statens Byggeforskningsinstitut (Danish Building Research Institute) until 1960; that year, she established her own studio.
With Børge Mogensen, she designed the Boligens byggeskabe wardrobes. She created the Stub glass series for Kastrup Glasværk (with Ibi Trier Mørch, 1958–1960), the Royal Copenhagen tableware sets Blåkant (from 1965), Hvidpot (from 1972) and Ildpot, and the Copenhagen cutlery range for Georg Jensen (from 1991). She received the Thorvald Bindesbøll Medal (1983) and the C.F. Hansen Medal (2002).
