Partnerships with like-minded people

Fredericia Furniture needs no introduction for those who knows their Danish design furniture. When we formed a partnership with Fredericia Furniture, we felt we had finally landed the right furniture partner. In Fredericia we have found a partner who shares our values and ideals, and who engage in partnerships the same way we do. Being par of the Frederica Furniture collection, with objects made from their exquisite surplus materials is a honor, and we are humble and proud to work with the amazing Fredericia Furniture team.

Robbe & Berking is one of the world’s finest silverware manufactures and a top-ranked German luxury brand. The German silverware brand today is run by Mr. Oliver Berking, 5th generation to run the company. Like us, they believe in near-sourcing, and they produce all their silverware in their factory facility and hometown of Flensburg. Apart from being a very professional run company with a fantastic heritage, design and quality, they are the most modest and an excellent team to work with. We are proud to partner with them on the chess game box for their recently launched 'world’s finest' chess game made in platinum and pure gold.

The design and Karimoku Case Study’s unparalleled attention to details both with the design team, the operations team, and the production team, makes this partnership unique. The notion of, and devotion to, the fact that good things take time – good products are handmade and are made from natural materials – is an amazing push to get from a partner. However, above everything the people we have met at Karimoku in Japan and at Norm in Denmark, are people we admire and love to work with. The N-BB01 (Karimoku Case Study box) is the prove of the power of this partnership– a beautiful Japanese oak wood frame paired with the most amazing Scandinavian leather cover. A true object.

Josefine A Hoffmeyer, founder of File Under Pop, knows a thing or two about colours and materials. We therefore approached her, to ask if she would select a fabric and matching leather colours for our Limited Edition. Not only were we impressed by her choice - the result is outstanding, but we were also deeply enchanted by her creative and kind nature. The Limited Edition was only the starting point for our collaboration.

We were a bit starstruck when Thomas Lykke, Creative Director of OEO Studio, based in Copenhagen and Tokyo, called us to accept our request for him to choose a fabric for our Limited Edition. We have admired OEO and Thomas's work from a distance for years, and always been impressed by the aesthetics of their work. Meeting Thomas and Anne-Marie, his partner in business, we were amazed by their humbleness and their friendly and helpful nature. We get inspired every time we meet and the Limited Edition in Hosoo fabrics is unforgettable.

For the Danes, Johan Bulow needs little introduction. He took our old-school national sweet and made it modern and internationally appealing. What Johan and his team have created is amazing – a true entrepreneurial adventure spun around a great and unique idea. We are proud to have worked with them on a box for the launch of one of their most recent liquorice additions i.e., The Liquorice-stick.

When Copenhagen Distillery launched their first ever single malt whiskey to the world, it was wrapped in an August Sandgren box. The whiskey is the first ever whiskey distilled in Copenhagen, it has been five years in the making and not one part of the product and the launch was left for coincidence. The whiskey itself is world class, it is bottled in beautiful mouth-blown bottles from Holmegaard, and it is then protected by our box. We are honoured to be selected to protect such A perfectionistic passion product. We normally do not like whiskey, but this one we do, as much as we like the team behind it.

In partnership with Kristian Haagen, the most recognised watch specialist in Scandinavia, we have crafted an aesthetic leather - suede Watchbox. Kristian has a lifelong passion for wristwatches and he travels the world to visit manufacturers, interview designers and consult with some of the most influential brands in the industry. For years he worked as a watch specialist for the renowned Bruun Rasmussen Auctioneers in Copenhagen, where you can also be lucky to find some of August Sandgren’s original work from time to time. With Kristian (comma) we have crafted the most elegant and tactile watch box. It is simply beautiful, thanks to Kristian.

SPOOR offers a new level of sustainability and animal welfare in leather production, and we are proud to partner with them and their great and energetic team. With SPOOR leather we have crafted a limited edition that is traceable back to the individual Danish free-range cow - a way to further secure the origin and sustainability of our materials. With August Sandgren’s ambition to choose the best and most sustainable materials possible and a vision of craftsmanship and quality, SPOOR was an obvious choice.

With A.C. Perch we crafted an exclusive tea box in (100%) aniline leather. The Teabox turned out beautiful – a true tactile alternative to the more common wooden tea boxes. We are truly proud of this partnership with one of the oldest and most respected Danish brands, and we highly appreciate the collaboration and the great people gallery we have met inside the A.C. Perch family.

The Audo opened in May 2019 and since then it has been a unique being-place in Copenhagen with the most beautiful hotel rooms, inspiring meeting spots, a perfectly curated concept store and their most recent addition, a great café and restaurant. The Audo was designed by Norm Architects and we were honoured to be chosen as their box-partner. Consequently we have crafted boxes, holders and covers for their rooms and for their concept store. We love the atmosphere they have created and we use the space as the second home to our brand. A place we are proud to be a part of.

The very first week we launched the new storage object assortment from August Sandgren we met with Rue Verte. They immediately appreciated our boxes as we – for years – have admired their beautiful curated universe. With Rue Verte we crafted a bespoke box in nubuck which makes it a perfect fit with their elegant and exclusive universe and an overall beautiful and elegant storage object. The Rue Verte box is one of our bestselling units likely due to the unique combination of a very simple design and its tactile, decadent and warm material and colour.

Tom Dixon needs little introduction among furniture and interior designers. His style is unique and his universe always alluring. When Tom and his team designed a digitally printed leather with the image of crumpled foil, we were lucky to craft boxes from it for The Coal Office in London and for The Manzoni in Milan. The boxes are the most visually mind-twisting we made to date – and they were the early inspiration for our Limited Edition as the Tom Dixon creation made us realise how fundamentally different the same box looks in different materials and colours.

We met Laksen through a joint acquaintance and was invited to make a box for their first ever watch launch in Q1, 2020. We were persuaded by their passion for hunting, original Scottish tweed and the modern, down-to-earth interpretation of a hunter-watch. The watch is amazing which is proven by the prompt sell-out and we are proud to be part of the journey with them.

When born we are all dressed in their textiles at the hospital, we dry our dishes in their dish cloth and we certainly have all eaten at restaurants where the tables are made with their table cloth and napkins. When their textiles retire from their primary use, we make boxes and notebooks from them. We find it meaningful and cult to use these textiles as they have so much strength left and so much sentimental value to all Danes.
