So far so good.

We are incredibly grateful for the support in these first months of the HANSEN revival. What began as an idea founded in nostalgia and the desire to continue our family tradition of handcrafted furniture, we've been thrilled to discover that the needs we solved 50 years ago are ever so present.

The thought of the furniture we crafted in our workshop is now placed in homes, hotels and cafes around the world is amazing. Thank you so much for being part of this adventure.

We've stitched together this page to show you what has happened since we began, and all the way at the bottom even some promises for the future.

Where we are today. Literally.

Shipping just a single footstool outside Denmark was a big milestone from day 1. Looking at where we've shipped pieces of our family history today means pushing the needle a bit. Great people from Australia, United States, Abu Dhabi, Switzerland, Norway, Iceland, Denmark and Faroe Islands have made all this possible.

Mentions

We've been mentioned in a couple of our favorite interior magazines and on a range of smaller interior blogs. Some of them we reached out to, but most have discovered us along the way. It's really thrilling to see how the HANSEN furniture is interpreted and used in all kinds of settings.

If you're also in the business of curating content like this, we've set up a page for you with everything you need. And if you need more, talk to us!

Drafting up a new piece..

During the summer we'll finish up a round footstool. We're still tinkering with the details, but are obviously quite excited about it. It will have a more robust look and feel than the classic footstool.

If you want a poke when we're ready to ship the round footstool, sign up to the newsletter here. You won't get many emails from us, but the ones you do get will be great.

A word from the founder.

"Honestly, I was just thrilled to be working with my son. You can never tell your kids what to do, only encourage them to seek challenges and happiness.

When Michael proposed the idea of getting the workshop up and running again, I was very excited. The enthusiasm he had around the furniture made me feel like when I had just finished my apprenticeship — it felt like starting all over again.

It caught me by surprise that he also wanted to sell it outside of Denmark. Talking about global shipping. Where I come from, we don't talk too much about what we do, and we certainly don't put ourselves on a pedestal for earning a living. I had never thought that the thing most strange to me; the internet — would be the missing piece to the puzzle. Making our furniture truly available for everyone."
