Portraits

Every product, every craft, and every person has its own story. In our portraits, you get a closer look at the employees, customers, and products we surround ourselves with. Stories of handcrafted quality, expertise, and a working community where social responsibility is a natural part of what we do.

    Meet Steen, our weaver

    Steen was a truck driver until he went blind at the age of 53. Today, he is behind our woven tea towels, and the technique is still in his hands: “Weaving is a bit like cycling.”

Design news

Right now, new products are on their way to our shelves, and we look forward to showcasing them soon.

Our product group has been at a trade fair to gather inspiration and handpick new products for the stores. We aim for quality, responsibility, and preferably Danish production when new products are added to the range.

This time, among other things, there are Christmas novelties on their way from by Brorson with Danish-made Topnisser in solid wood, as well as fine ceramic ornaments from Vangs Keramiske Værksted.

We look forward to getting the new products in and showcasing them in the stores.
