Craftsmanship means many things to many different people. To us,
it means everything and it has been so ever since 1908 when Carl
Hansen founded his company in Odense, Denmark.
Carl Hansen founded his company on a strong belief: outstanding
craftsmanship and rational serial production could go hand-in-hand
to provide customers with high-quality furniture at a reasonable
price. Today, we continue to build on this simple but strong idea.
We combine traditional woodworking techniques with the latest
technology to produce furniture of lasting value.
Most of the furniture we produce today was designed by leading
Danish architects back in the 1930s and up to the 1960s, but the
design, the vision and the craftsmanship behind every piece of
furniture is still as relevant today as it was then. If not even
more so today. This is why our dedication to working with the best
materials and the best designers has and will always be fundamental
to Carl Hansen & Søn.
At Carl Hansen & Søn, we feel a great responsibility to keep
bringing this sustainable idea forward of producing furniture with
a long life, made of wood harvested from sustainably managed
forests and treated in a way that is as gentle as possible for the
environment.
Our skilled craftsmen and -women still work with the same pride
and dedication to their work and it this passion that helps us
maintain the same high quality in every piece of furniture that
leaves our factory in Aarup.
Behind every piece of furniture there lies vision, careful
thought and skilled craftsmanship. That's why we say, that every
piece comes with a story. And we hope you'll enjoy making it a part
of yours.
