It is of great importance that the things we purchase and live with do not need to be changed, but instead grow old with dignity and charm. Andreas Graversen Fredericia CEO 1955-1995

Fredericia Furniture was established in 1911.

Encouraging customers to buy fewer but better products has been at the core of Fredericia’s company ethics, ever since we began in 1911. Our pioneering work with Børge Mogensen is based on combining timeless, modern aesthetics with durable construction and good materials. With the ultimate goal of creating furniture that becomes more beautiful with age, intended to be passed down from one generation to the next. These core values are rooted in our sense of responsibility, seen in our use of natural materials, our ethical methods of production and our respect for the people using our...

Mogensen designs the 2213 Sofa in 1962, originally intended for his own house.

The FSC standard is gradually being applied to all our products throughout 2021. The European Union Timber Regulation (EUTR) is a trade mechanism imposed by the EU Parliament and Council to reduce illegal logging by ensuring that no illegal timber or timber products can be harvested or sold in the...

Waste Management Fredericia operations are managed with systems in compliance with ISO14001 standards. Waste is sorted according to our recycling system into combustible, cardboard, iron and metal, plastic and landfill. Waste timber is chopped into chips and used to heat the plant.

Surplus leather that cannot be used in manufacturing is upcycled via a third party and used for other leather products. Textile offcuts are sent to kindergardens and technical colleges.

A piece of furniture is for your comfort. It should be safe to use every day, and it should not emit any toxic or potentially harmful substances into the indoor environment.

Varnishes & Adhesives We meet the E1 formaldehyde standard for varnishes and adhesives, which means the amount of emissions are less than 0,015 mg/m3. During the application and hardening processes, this evaporation takes place in a closed plant situated within the production site. What’s more, we are actively making an effort to remove environmentally-harmful varnishes and glues from our furniture and manufacturing. Part of our effort involves requesting better alternatives from our suppliers. Fredericia is in the process of changing all lacquers to water-based lacquers.
