About Skovby

Skovby history dates back to the 1930s when Thorvald Rasmussen went against the judgments of many of the period and founded the company during the depression. He borrowed a small sum of money from his mother and started taking orders for handcrafting various pieces of furniture. His hard work, skills and business abilities brought his small company safely through the thirties. The company is still family owned today.

During the 1970s, exports grew substantially and allowed Skovby to enter into other markets including the United States. In the 1980s the company began establishing and investing in other markets, including the Far East as well as other European markets. In the mid 1990s Skovby streamlined its quality dining room collection by offering a greater range of concept furniture rather than individual pieces. This translated into many of today's remarkable designs and innovations found throughout the furniture collection. The goal was simple: to provide functionality and quality.

In 1987, accomplished designer Per Hånsbæk joined the Skovby furniture family and brought with him a love of design, function and practical consumer innovations into the Skovby line of furniture. He has been the main partner in the creation of many of the successful Skovby designs found throughout the line and continues to help create and design innovative and functional furniture collections.

Every piece of Skovby furniture is made in three different factories located throughout Denmark. Skovby continuously expands its production needs by bringing in up-to-date technology and machinery for use in building Skovby products.

Danish furniture is part of a rich culture of products from the Scandinavian region which represent quality, form and function in every piece of furniture made. Skovby carries on these traditions handed down through generations of furniture and cabinet making that began with Thorvald Rasmussen and the hard work, skills and attention to detail that have made quality Skovby furniture products recognized throughout the world.

We carry various Skovby products at both of our locations. Attached are some photos of the dining table and dining chairs in the Boulder store. Longmont photos will be coming soon.
