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 and the mission is to create high quality and sustainable design furniture. The company has its production in Durup, Denmark and showrooms placed in beautiful surroundings in Copenhagen close to Marmorkirken.

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.

Since launching in 2016, RYE has been driven by a thoughtful approach to design within the bedroom. Inspired by history and analog traditions, RYE is less concerned with questions of what a bed can do, but rather with what a bed should be—a quiet refuge—framing sleep through an emphasis on slowness, serene geometries and a tactile depth. Every piece is made at the brand's own production facilities located in the scenic Danish Lake Highlands, where their skilled craftsmen and women are refining a variety of locally sourced materials.

SALTY is the vision of Ellinor and Annetta. Two Nordic souls shaped by design, storytelling, and the beauty of everyday moments. Raised in landscapes where form follows function and simplicity carries warmth, they developed an innate understanding of space and aesthetics. What began as a spark, just an idea between two friends with a shared love for interiors and creativity—grew into something more: a studio dedicated to crafting not just spaces but experiences. SALTY designs with feeling, blending natural materials, quiet elegance, and a sense of ease, making a space feel like home. With the FLOWY Collection, this philosophy extends even further, creating furniture meant to be lived with pieces that settle in and soften over time.
