Sika-Design

A proud tradition of craftmanship.

Our passion for and understanding of rattan dates back decades. We have been around long enough to call ourselves Scandinavia’s oldest producer of rattan and wicker furniture.

The story of our company begins in 1942, when Ankjær Andreasen produced the first batch of baskets, lamps, flower tables and other smaller interior items made of rush and willow. In the 1950´s, Ankjær expanded his production to include a series of furniture made from rattan, and the company Sika-Design was firmly established.

The rattan was imported from the Far East, and Ankjær travelled there to purchase the rattan for his wicker makers in Denmark. During a trip in 1972, he was so impressed by the skilled wicker makers that he decided to establish a wicker furniture factory in Malaysia. Since then, the Far East has been essential to our production of furniture.

Today, we manufacture our furniture in our own factory in Indonesia. Ankjær‘s son, Knud Andreasen, took over the company in 1983, however Ankjær continued his daily “inspections” until his death in 1997. On my 10th birthday, my father allowed me to attend a fair where Sika-Design was exhibiting a series of rattan furniture.

On that day, I knew I wanted to be a part of his company, and my passion for rattan furniture began. Since 1996, my father and I have worked side by side bringing Sika-Design into the new century with great design, while never letting go of our strong heritage of great craftsmanship.

Sika-Design respects human rights and complies with the SA8000 standard for social accountability, and we demand the same commitment from our suppliers. Products from Sika-Design are developed and marketed in accordance with our management system for environment and social responsibility ISO 14001/2004 and SA8000/2014.
