About Us

Danish Furniture Limited

Danish Furniture Limited is the importer and distributor of HOUE & Skovby Danish furniture, with our offices, furniture showroom and distribution centre in Tauriko, Tauranga.

Launched in 2016 Danish Furniture is a wholly owned New Zealand company. We purchased the business in early 2020, the day before the first Level 4 lockdown.

Our focus is on providing quality, ethically made and sustainable Danish furniture at reasonable prices.

We’ve since broadened our offering to include the iconic String furniture from Sweden and the premium New Zealand-made Shadowspec umbrella range.

Our team at Danish Furniture strive to provide a high level of communication, excellent customer service and premium product support.
