August Sandgren makes mess pretty by handcrafting timeless, functional and aesthetic storage objects. With respect for its 100-year-old box-making heritage, they offer storage solutions for every storage need in today’s cluttered world – at home and in the office. In addition to general storage boxes, they offer a selection of exquisite jewellery boxes, watch boxes and storage on-the-go solutions. Their beautiful objects are either made from upcycled materials sourced from exclusive partners in the European furniture and fashion industry or from oeko-tex-certified leather. Every object from August Sandgren is handcrafted in Europe and made to last a lifetime or more – evident in both design, craftsmanship and choice of materials.

Welcome to The Maker's Gallery, where craftsmanship meets design. This year, August Sandgren invites you to experience not only the exquisite objects but also the artistry behind their creation. Nestled in the inviting basement of the historic Hotel d'Angleterre in the heart of Copenhagen, you’ll discover a charming workshop bustling with skilled artisans at work. August Sandgren takes pride in showcasing their craftsmanship and the stories woven into each piece brought to life. Come explore, and immerse yourself in the world of design and dedication.

Pairing international designers with craftspeople from Iberia and beyond, the brand develops contemporary furniture, lighting, textiles, and collectible objects that celebrate regional craft traditions.

Fogia’s mission as a furniture maker is to turn exceptional ideas into well–crafted pieces. At its centre is the factory, where wood, textiles and skilled hands come together, giving designers and craftspeople the time to explore how sketches become lasting objects. The aim is to create furniture that people grow attached to over time. This comes from balancing function with friction—the detail, tension or gesture that gives character. One without the other is incomplete. Working closely with designers who question conventions with finesse, Fogia shapes furniture that feels considered. You can sense it in the whole—it simply feels right. FUNCTION / FRICTION / FINESSE / FOGIA
