what kind of furniture are you looking for?

FEEL SAFE

We want you to feel safe when you buy furniture from our retailers, which is why we always have a 6-year warranty against manufacturing defects! We also always use the best material, that in combination with good Swedish craftsmanship ensures a long durability of the products and thus gives you an additional security.

FLEXIBILITY

For us at Skipper, flexibility means offering our customers a product that is as customized as possible so that the special need that sometimes arises can be satisfied through a special adaptation. Everything that a smaller and more flexible company can offer without complicating life for our customers. For example, we have experience of customized furniture in psychiatry, healthcare and elderly care.

DESIGN

Our goal is always to combine good Scandinavian design with the highest possible comfort. That's why we work with designers who all prioritize optimizing design with comfort without losing the distinctiveness of the form.
Because the Scandinavian heritage should always be evident in our furniture, Scandinavian design is the foundation of our product development and many successful designers have left their mark on our Skipper range. Read here about the designers we work with.

COMFORT

For our seating furniture, comfort is key. It doesn't matter how nice the furniture looks if it's not comfortable to sit in. Our goal for our furniture is to be aesthetically pleasing and for the customer to want to spend as much time as possible in it. We ensure this by always selecting raw materials and materials of the best available quality that ensure a long durability with the same fine comfort as when you bought the furniture.

O&M DESIGN

Okamura & Marquardsen has worked for a number of Danish, Swedish, Italian and Japanese factories since the office was established in 1973. Their primary area of work is furniture design. The collaboration with Skipper Furniture started in 1981 and has resulted in a large number of chairs and sofa models for both private and public use.

SVEND SKIPPER

Svend Skipper was apprenticed as an upholsterer in 1948 and learned in 1952. In 1955 he bought a small furniture shop in Durup and called it "Svends Möbler". A year later, he made his first chair "No. 91" which was later popularly named the Skipper Bamse chair.

In 1959, he started building a private home and factory on Vinkelvej. In the years that followed, several expansions were made so that the production area was up to approx. 4,500 m2 before production moved to Sweden in 2015.

CARSTEN BUHL

This whimsical play on words characterizes furniture designer Carsten Buhl's approach to design development. Each piece of furniture is a challenge and has its own story. But what they all have in common is that they are created with respect for the simple, pure expression of the Scandinavian design tradition.
The aim is always to create furniture that solves practical and functional needs while meeting certain design quality requirements.

HENRIK LEHM

Henrik Lehm is a new Danish designer on his way to international recognition for contemporary furniture design. H. Lehm graduated in 1994 with a Master of Science in Architecture and Design from Aalborg University. In 2003, this education was supplemented with studies in international branding and marketing.

Henrik Lehm's work continues the Danish design tradition in a well-balanced combination with international and industrial design. One of his specialties is the design of modern chairs with excellent seating comfort, some of which are already recognized as future classics. Lehm's main source of inspiration is modern technology in general and nature's own way of designing and painting.
