Fredericia Furniture

Fredericia is a family-owned company founded in 1911. Our history is deeply rooted in the development of Scandinavian furniture design and production. Several of our products have become indisputable classics, and a large portion of our collection has been in continuous production for decades.

At Fredericia, we have always moved forward. We have been developing new products throughout our history, spanning over 100 years. As a result, not only do we have an impressive design archive, we also have a profound knowledge and understanding of furniture design, which has been passed on from generation to generation. Insights and attitudes about design which are continuously being shaped by ongoing developments in production, culture and daily life.

We have a proud spirit that can be traced back to our first workshop – a workshop founded on traditional craftsmanship and modern industrial production.

The company was initially established as Fredericia Stolefabrik (Fredericia Chair Factory). From the very start, Fredericia became known for extremely high-quality furniture in various traditional styles.

In 1955, visionary businessman Andreas Graversen integrated Fredericia’s heritage of high-quality furniture with modernist ideals in a close, well-known collaboration with Børge Mogensen. Mogensen’s intuitive understanding of materials and strong sense of proportions led to a range of iconic pieces celebrated to this day - by collectors, museums, architects and designers around the world.

Ever since the untimely death of Mogensen in 1972, Fredericia has continuously evolved by staying in tune with the times. Throughout the years, the Graversen family has expanded Fredericia’s circle of designers – who each contribute to the renewal and reinterpretation the Fredericia design ethos in new context.

Inspired by the creative power of long-lasting relationships, such as our close collaboration with Mogensen, Fredericia continues to see designer
collaborations as partnerships based on a deep mutual trust - forming a creative culture characterised by the integrity of design, artistic expression, material expertise and industry knowledge. Always in an effort to create sustainable furniture that encourages human wellbeing wherever people live, work and relax.
