Educated within business. After working several years in the private sector he spent 8 years as CEO for a French company, so it was quite a career change, when he decided to enter the school of Design 'ENSCI- Les Ateliers' in Paris. But he did it and graduated in 1999. In 2000 he founded the design studio 'Requæst' in Paris.

Boje Estermann was in his kitchen one day in need of a funnel. Boje deliberately had not bought one because funnels take up a lot of space due to the non-flexible form. Nevertheless the funnel is an important part of the daily household and the core problem for Boje was lack of kitchen space combined with an inflexible form. Boje started to think of the possible ways to designing a flexible tunnel when he suddenly thought of his old reflex camera, which had a soft sunscreen, which folded out like an accordion when the sun got too strong. The unique quality of the sunscreen was clearly that it only took up space when in use - this way the seed to the collapsible funnel was sown. Boje met Normann Copenhagen, and in a co-operation with engineers all parties developed this special soft material - flexible enough to fold together, hard enough to keep its shape and durable enough to take the cold, hot as well as the repetition of folding the funnel.
