Danish Modern Collection is a co-operation between 2 furniture factories Gramrode Møbelfabrik A/S and Aksel Kjersgaard A/S.

Company Profile

Gramrode Møbelfabrik was founded in 1924. From the beginning the production was mostly easy chairs and sofas with visible wooden frames. In 1960 the production of dining room furniture in solid wood based on a unique mix of workmanship and design started. In the following years the company has succeeded in developing a comprehensive range of chairs and tables, which today is being exported all over the world. It takes precision and professional skills to manufacture furniture in solid hardwood. Our cabinet-makers know how to use their crafts and put an honour in keeping up the best traditions from the classic cabinet maker skill.
