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.

You’re not like everyone else. Neither are we. You won’t find us in every home, in every store, or in every office. We’re among the few Norwegian furniture manufacturers who still design and craft our furniture at our own factory. We’ve been doing that since the 40s. And we’ll continue to do so, right here in Sykkylven, the country’s furniture capital. We make products built to last. In fact, no one should want or need to throw away an LK Hjelle product. That’s our vision. And it ensures that we always double-check that the screws are tight, that we choose the best suppliers, and that we make it easy for our customers to have their furniture repaired, so they get renewed life and can bring joy to many, many, many…

The world needs change—more sustainability, stronger communities, and a better life for all. That’s why design isn’t just about creating something new; it’s also about improving what already is there, making it more beautiful, functional, playful, and appealing. It’s about listening to people’s needs and involving them in creating future solutions. At Kolding School of Design, creative people from all over the world come together to do just that—through craftsmanship, artistic expression, and research. The teaching is based on practical experience, the latest knowledge, and close collaboration with the outside world.
