The history of our company began in 1942 in Denmark, when Ankjær
Andreasen produced the first batch of handmade baskets, lamps and
accessories made from wicker. With our passion for rattan and great
craftmanship, we manufacture timeless furniture in both our own
designs and in designs by some of the world’s greatest designers and
architects.
We are proud to call us the oldest manufacturer of rattan and wicker
furniture in Scandinavia. With 3
rd
generation Louise Andreasen in
charge, it is our mission to make long lasting furniture both when it
comes to design and durability.
We strive to manufacture long lasting furniture, created with the least
possible impact on the environment. This places great demands to the
longevity of our designs, the way we produce, and the materials we use.
Rattan meets these high requirements. The material is solid which makes
rattan furniture very durable and able to be passed down for generations.
Rattan production has a minimal impact on the environment, as the material
is fast growing, harvested and processed by hand, and when steamed
shortly it can also be bend by hand. In the production there is no waste as
all residues are used for the steam ovens.
Taking environmental and social responsibilities are ongoing processes
that we have been working with systematically since 2013. Together with
our sister company, we were the first furniture companies in Denmark
to be certified with an ISO14001:2015 and SA8000 (now replaced by
SMETA by DNV-GL). Through our certifications, we have committed
ourselves to a responsible social - and environmental policy as well as an
ongoing focus on developing and improving these conditions.
