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.

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."
