Classic, modern or
avant-garde. Tastes and needs may differ, but some things never
change.
At Skovby we believe that natural materials and excellent
craftsmanship are never out-of-date. Therefore we have always
tried to combine good traditional craftsmanship and functional
innovation in a contemporary and timeless design. Craftsmanship
and quality - options and flexibility - your distinct
expression.
Excellent furniture
with an individual expression
Because our starting point is innovative Danish design. Because
we consider choices and flexibility in the design of our
furniture so that you, as the decision maker, can have your
wishes granted. Because we incorporate good craftsmanship into
functional solutions that accommodate the varying needs, which
arise in and around the focal point of the home.
Craftsmanship is our driving force
As a family owned company, Skovby have a proud history in
cabinet making spanning three generations. The growth from a
small one-man workshop in 1933 to its current position as a
worldwide supplier has involved many changes over the years.
Although we employ the latest technological developments in
cabinet making, Skovby have never lost sight of its beginnings.
This can be witnessed in the large degree of hand finishing on
today’s products. From the drying of the raw timber and careful
selection of veneers to the finished product no compromise is
made.
The skills employed in the use of the natural timbers and the
variations therein ensure the individuality of each finished
piece. In fact, each piece of furniture has its own
expression and not two are identical. This is one of the most
fascinating characteristics of genuine wood.
Our cornerstones
Carefully planned design, craftsmanship and natural materials
all add an individual expression to each piece of furniture. Be
inspired and choose your distinct expression to create cohesion
and atmosphere in your home. Enjoy yourself!
Skovby's working
process From element to excellence
Skovby’s working process is characterised by state-of-the-art
technology and craftsmanship. From the selection of the raw
materials through the final design and craftsman finish
environmental and human aspects are determining factors.
We select and evaluate the quality of the
wood in relation to grain patterns, play of
colours and structures. Skovby only use high
quality veneer and solid wood.
The subsequent processing is characterised
by superb craftsmanship. The entire production
processes from raw wood to finished product
still take place under one single roof.
Skovby uses state-of-the-art technology in
the production processes, which ensures a high
quality. Well-qualified and quality-conscious
employees contribute to the high standard.
It is important for us to create a good and
healthy working environment for our employees.
Three generations’ experience in design and
genuine craftsmanship is converted into
innovative and flexible solutions.
Skovby options - easy to choose
Skovby furniture is produced in many different wood
sorts to please any taste. Wood is a natural product and
as such subject to varying structures, colouring, and
grain patterns. This is proof of authenticity and may
also be seen in finished pieces of furniture, which
might differ slightly in the colouring of different
components. Wooden furniture – solid as well as veneer –
changes colour and character with the passing of time
due to influences from light and air. Naturally varying
air humidity will cause the wood to expand or contract.
Fabric or leather - An individual
choice
We only sell extremely hard wearing covers that comply
with the most stringent quality standards. Choose
between 40 quality covers in fabric and leather.
Upholstery with individually customised covers is also
available.
