Haslev
Haslev is a Danish furniture brand that embodies the essence of Scandinavian design, combining traditional craftsmanship, functionality and timeless aesthetics. Founded over 60 years ago, the company has built a solid reputation thanks to its expertise in working with solid wood, a material central to its identity and creations.
In the early days, Haslev concentrated on making sofa beds and desks, but gradually expanded its range to include iconic pieces such as tables, coffee tables, chairs and shelves. Among its notable innovations, Haslev was one of the first Danish manufacturers to produce tables in solid beechwood, a model known as the “solid beechwood table”, which has become a classic of Nordic design. Today, the brand uses a variety of woods such as oak, cherry and walnut, while also offering laminate finishes for certain models, thus offering easier maintenance without sacrificing elegance.
Haslev's style is based on clean lines, meticulous attention to detail and a handcrafted approach that emphasizes the natural beauty of wood. This philosophy fits perfectly with the Scandinavian tradition, where design must be both beautiful and practical. A striking example of this approach is the “Basic Element” modular shelving system, which allows users to customize their furniture by choosing the type of wood, finishes and configurations, thus reflecting a flexibility adapted to modern needs.
Haslev has also collaborated with talented designers to enrich its catalog. For example, in the 1980s, architect Finn Østergaard designed the Lindeberg chair, a piece that combines simplicity and comfort, illustrating the brand's commitment to timeless design. In addition, some of the historic coffee tables incorporated tabletops made of Royal Copenhagen enamel tiles or materials such as stoneware, marble and clay, demonstrating a willingness to experiment while remaining rooted in tradition.
Today, Haslev continues to produce its furniture in Denmark, preserving a craft heritage that values durability and quality. Its creations are aimed at those who are looking for functional and elegant pieces that are able to stand the test of time while bringing a warm and natural touch to their interiors.
