MAGGIORI INFORMAZIONI SU SKAGERAK
Skagerak is a family owned design company established in Denmark in 1976 with strong roots in the Scandinavian geography and proud furniture tradition. Our vision is to produce long-lasting and functional furniture of the highest quality, produced with respect for humans and environment and with the ability to create joy for generations. By doing so, we hope to prove that it pays off to make an effort and take responsibility.
We believe in responsible production, transparent working relations and good working conditions and adhere to the 10 principles of UN Global Compact. We only use legally sourced timber and at the moment, 49% of our wooden materials are FSC-certified. The goal is to reach 100% by the year of 2020.
Today, we design, develop and market our products in more than 30 countries spread over 5 continents. We work together with a wide range of experienced and up-coming designers from Scandinavia and other European countries such as Germany and Italy. In fact, nationality plays no role to us, as long as the designers share our predilection for simplicity, functionality and good craftsmanship.
This philosophy has led to a world-wide recognition of our brand, highlighted by international design nominations and awards. To name just a few, our Vivlio Shelving System and Riviera Sunbed won the RED DOT Design Award meanwhile our whole Georg Collection was celebrated as the “Best bedroom furniture of the year” by ELLE Decoration Sweden at the Stockholm Furniture & Light Fair 2016. Georg Mirror was also named winner of the German Design Award 2016.
Our Outdoor collection covers furniture, earthenware, fabrics and accessories, including more than 200 unique designs. For our furniture, the most commonly used material is teak, a South East Asian sturdy and weather resistant type of wood, but we also include other hard-wearing wood such as the Western Red Cedar that grows deep in the Canadian forests. In addition to these, we make use of a carefully selected range of non-wooden materials such as powder-coated or stainless steel, aluminum, fibre concrete and terracotta.
Our Interior collection features more than 70 unique designs, divided into sub-categories such as wardrobe, storage, table and chairs, stools and textiles. The most used material in the interior collection is oak, a hardwearing European wood which we make sure is FSC-certified. Additionally, our collections are created from ash and teak wood, various types of steel and textiles including wool, moulded felt and leather.
Our line of Accessories covers more than 100 unique designs, spanning from elements in the kitchen, office and garden to Christmas decoration and storage items. The main part of our designs are brought to life in porcelain, teak, and oak, but the collection also features products in wool, steel, glass, and various fabrics. Our accessories are aimed at both indoor and outdoor spaces.
