Magnus Olesen develops and manufactures high quality furniture in cooperation with leading designers and architects. The result is a functional, aesthetic and unique design that enhances the spaces where it’s placed—whether it’s in smaller interiors or for large conceptual architectural purposes. The company was founded in 1937 with a strong belief in Danish craftsmanship ever since. Durability and quality are core values in Magnus Olesen, with the mission to create high quality and sustainable design furniture. The company has its production in Durup, Denmark and a showroom in the beautiful surroundings of Marmorkirken in Copenhagen.

Magnus Olesen opens its showroom doors to the exhibition ‘Shapes & Seasons of design’, where shapes and colours through decades of design are displayed in beautiful surroundings of District Frederiksstaden. Colours. Round shapes. Clear lines. Graphic details. Elements that were characteristic in the designs of Magnus Olesen, which are still seen today and discovered when diving into history walking the halls of their local factory. Design history redefined in new relevance in combination with new designs. A creative take on materials, shapes of wood, eye–catching colours and design that lasts through decades. Combining old and new, different seasons of design, in a colourful summer setting.

This vision comes to life in the brand’s workshop, where Bretz boldly pushes forward with a pioneering spirit, while also drawing on over a century of German upholstery tradition. Born from a passion for the unexpected and refined by sophisticated production techniques, Bretz creates exceptional modular and multifunctional designs. Only when a sofa, bed, armchair, or accessory has been perfected down to the finest detail will it meet the brand’s exacting standards.
