Most of these pieces were crafted by small, local cabinet makers across Denmark and were not mass-produced. Furniture made for the domestic market typically wasn’t stamped. In Denmark, society is largely egalitarian—people don’t consider themselves above others, for better or worse. This cultural mindset contributed to the lack of maker stamps, as displaying such marks could be seen as showing off. Only items intended for export were usually stamped but our pieces come directly from homes in Denmark.
 
There is a science behind Danish Modern design. The world famous school of design in Copenhagen has made numbers of studies from the perfect height of a chair to how deep a cabinet should be.
 
We personally refurbish all the teak and rosewood pieces in our workshop in Brooklyn. We source all our products from private homes in Denmark. Our owner Lars, travels across his native country, knocking on doors, meeting people on the street, going to markets and building a network of personal sellers.
