OUR HERITAGE - ABOUT US

We are a design team which embrace the world around us,
each of us bringing a unique set of heritage skills to the design conception.

The result turns out to be our clients treasured family heirloom, the antiques of tomorrow.

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Standing on the shoulders of past generations, it is indeed an honor and a challenge to be part of the innovation of the future heritage in bespoke furnishings.

We aim to accomplish this by applying traditional artisan skills, that have been treasured for centuries, the past millennium or longer.

This approach defines our choice of materials, and the artisan skills required to craft each piece of bespoke design which we handcraft with tender loving care.

But even before we start, the prime Oakwood which this collection is based upon, have already been attended to with tender loving care.

By generations of master foresters during the last 250 years, to achieve the prime oakwood we use in our design concepts.

Naturally, we also intend to make sure the forest is maintained and renewed, to ensure sustainability. So that future generations two centuries from today can enjoy the forest and its treasures to be crafted into unique bespoke heirlooms by then.

WE CAN MAKE YOUR DREAMS COME TRUE.

OUR VISION

The design concepts are developed in close corporation with our esteemed customers and artisans.

To ensure accumulated knowledge of each craft is designed in each unique bespoke treasure we make, as this ensures the test of time is carried forward reinforcing our aim of crafting tomorrows heritage pieces today.

"Timeless sustainable design crafted to last".

This approach is in its essence our best effort to obtain sustainability and durability in each bespoke piece we craft.

Ensuring the most environmentally friendly pieces, which through this approach also are the gentlest to the human body over time, due to its natural materials.

OUR HERITAGE LOCATION

A home base on the Stevns Peninsula with heritage all around, a few examples are from just the last millennium.

We are on Hamlets Island, about a half a day’s sailing south of Kronborg castle, on the southeastern coast of Zealand.
The town of Store Heddinge, came into existence during the 12th century, with a distinct landmark being the unique octagonal Romanesque Saint Katharina Church. (Build around 1190)
The town of Store Heddinge received privileged Royal status as a merchant town in 1441.
Christian de Lindencrone purchased the castle Gjorslev in 1743, upon his return from the first Asiatic trading expeditions to China 1736 - 1741.
The Gjorslev castle is one of the most well-preserved examples of Gothic secular architecture in Denmark. (build period 1400 - 1588)
The exquisite oak wood used in our signature collections was planted between 1750 and 1800, on average about 250 years ago in the forest on Gjorslev Estate, the forest throughout the island and the then Kingdom of Denmark - Norway.
Since 2014 a location of geological importance as one of the best exposed Cretaceous-Tertiary (K/T) boundaries in the world, as the white chalk shoreline cliffs on the peninsula of Stevns became a UNESCO World Heritage site: Stevns Klint pictured below.

The white chalk was previously cut and used as building materials during the last millennium, locally and throughout numerous buildings in cities on Zealand, the capital of Copenhagen, southern Sweden, and cities in the Baltic region.
