OUR HERITAGE
August Sandgren (1893-1934)
The company was originally founded in 1920 by the legendary bookbinder and box maker, August Sandgren, who was to his craft what Kaare Klint, Arne Jacobsen and Hans J. Wegner were to Danish design furniture, a true icon. August Sandgren was the preeminent bookbinder and box-maker of his era.

OUR PARTNERSHIPS
How we work
When partnerships form, new thoughts and new products emerge, adding the best from two or more worlds. When we succeed, it is because every single partner has contributed fully, meeting the high expectations, we set for ourselves. In many ways, August Sandgren is not a single company, but a collection of likeminded partners, sharing the same values, attitudes, and goals.
"Once you start to notice the small piles of clutter around your home, you realise how useful August Sandgren’s boxes are. I now have more than seven in my home and I already know what I need the next box for"

"I was not convinced about the business case for August Sandgren, but when I received one with my name engraved on it as a present, I installed it in my hall to empty my pocket’s every day after work. It really works! My keys, receipts, cards, letters, etc now have a home, and I always know where to find my things in the morning"

"When I recently lost my husband, I bought a box from August Sandgren debossed with his name on it. I bought it to have a place for all the physical memories we collected over a lifetime shared together. I now have a place I can open to remember him. Very few boxes offered the quality and aesthetics I required but August Sandgren did."
