Skovby: the innovative blend of sustainability and elegant danish design

Explore the authentic universe of Skovby, the Danish brand where the manufacturing of each piece of furniture revolves around simplicity, functionality, and intricate details. Committed to perpetuating and disseminating the traditions of Danish design, the brand continues to produce its furniture locally, at the heart of Denmark, where it all began.

In this way, Skovby perfectly embraces the expertise and craftsmanship required to create unique pieces rooted in Danish design.

A heritage of 3 generations of expertise

Perpetuated for 90 years, the brand's core values place an inclusive personnel policy, a flexible senior policy, and a continuous flow of around 10 apprentices at the center of its practices. Since 1933, Skovby has trained over 250 individuals in the field of furniture production.

The origin of this family business dates back to a small rural village in Denmark. Thorvald Rasmussen, a young and talented cabinetmaker full of dreams, initiated a modest furniture production at his mother's place in Skovby. Gradually, the business expanded and ultimately thrived. In 2023, the leadership of Skovby is in the hands of the third generation, the grandsons Preben and Jørgen Rasmussen.

Balancing Design and Functionality

Architect Per Hånsbæk has long developed a series of dining room furniture with the main characteristic being the distinct balance between design and functionality, crucial for him.

Modern furniture, with bold lines and equipped with a unique patented extension system, defines the very essence of Skovby. Sporting a decidedly modern design, these pieces are designed with a functional approach, each illustrating a dynamic expression.

Irresistibly Sustainable Designs

Skovby ensures that each production is socially responsible, both in its manufacturing process and its contribution to safe environments. All made and assembled in Denmark, each piece of furniture contributes to healthier indoor climates.

During production, a strong involvement of interdisciplinary skills is favored, ensuring close interaction between the cabinetmakers, technicians, and the company's architect. Together, they reach new heights with multifunctional and sustainable designs.

Embrace Rustic Elegance

At the core of each Skovby creation lies a living, durable, and ever-evolving material: wood. Sourced exclusively from sustainable forests, every surplus is fully utilized. Eco-energetic machines and technologies are employed to shape high-quality pieces designed to last a lifetime, infinitely reusable and recyclable.

Simultaneously, Skovby constantly expands the range of international colors, designs, and textures for its products. The brand offers you the opportunity to explore a multitude of options within its collection to find the perfect match for your home.
