The craft of cabinetry

In its kitchens and other joinery, Garde Hvalsøe carries on an exceptional legacy of Danish design in timber

Since 1990, Garde Hvalsøe has hand-crafted exquisite kitchens and interior solutions that will stand the test of time. Each piece is made in the company’s workshops by a team of artisans, hand-picked for their unparalleled skill and led by the company’s founders: two cabinetmakers who are united in their passion for Danish design and craftsmanship.

In the decades since it was founded, Garde Hvalsøe’s design philosophy has stayed the same: to create extraordinary pieces that only get better with each passing year. By using honest, noble materials that slowly acquire a soulful patina, and taking time to understand

the unique needs of each client, every product is truly bespoke, with a singular commitment to quality. By considering every detail and combining the highest possible level of both functionality and aesthetics, the result has an uncompromising artistry. Every custom-made piece stands out on its own, characterised by its diversity and how it has been individually adapted to suit the client’s wishes.

Garde Hvalsøe’s kitchens, wardrobes, furniture and carefully considered interior solutions, often undertaken in collaboration with leading architects and designers around the world, show how the company brings a vision to life.
