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.

Edin and Lina Kjellvertz launched Dusty Deco as a platform for curating vintage furniture, interior accessories and art. After having traveled the world and browsing flea markets for the most unique pieces, their home and storages quickly filled up to the brim with rare designs. Ten years later, Edin and Lina began drafting a new chapter in the brand’s history when closing the doors to its vintage business, instead launching their own collection of furniture, rugs and details. Today Dusty Deco is a contemporary design brand, creating pieces with just as much storytelling, originality and passion for craftsmanship as the vintage finds that originally inspired the couple to start their company.
