SKIPPER FURNITURE - was founded 1955 by manufacturer Svend Skipper and has thus been producing seating furniture as Danish workmanship for two generations. Close to the inlet Limfjorden in the North of Denmark we develop and produce sofas and chairs for private clients as well as professional buyers demanding a high degree of comfort, design and quality.
QUALITY Already at birth of the product idea quality must be part of the project - quality within the purpose, shape, function, method as well as in the material. Quality can never be a separate factor being attached afterwards. Our promise of highest possible quality is confirmed by 6 years’ warranty against manufacturing defects on material and construction!
PASSIONS Quality Flexibility Perfect combination of comfort & design Environmental concerns

FLEXIBILITY For us at SKIPPER flexibility is a reference to our efforts to consider our clients’ highest expectations. This applies to the execution as well as to the delivery time of the product. With us you can select between hundreds of colours of fabric and leather, wide or narrow arms, different design versions etc. Should you, in spite of all these possibilities, need a special adjustment, you can make certain that we will work hard to meet this need.

It is always the aim to create furniture complying with practical und functional needs, and meeting as well some design quality demands.
