Our Story
Furniture made with intent
Philosophy
We make fewer things, better
Havn was founded on a simple idea: the world doesn't need more furniture. It needs better furniture. Pieces built with such care and quality that they don't need to be replaced.
Every design begins with a question: will someone cherish this in twenty years? If the answer isn't clearly yes, we don't make it.
Our aesthetic draws from the best of two quiet traditions — Scandinavian functionalism and Japanese wabi-sabi. The result is furniture that feels modern, timeless, and deeply human.
What We Stand For
Our Values
Craftsmanship First
Every joint, finish, and stitch is done by hand. We believe the quality of making is visible in the quality of the object.
Sustainable by Default
FSC-certified woods, natural oils, recycled packaging. We make decisions that are good for the long term.
Fair to People
Our craftspeople are paid above living wages and own a stake in the studios they work in.
Craftsmanship
Thirty hands, one standard
Our workshops are small by design. Each craftsperson knows every piece they work on by name. They are trained for years before touching a Havn piece, and their signature is on every item they complete.
We use traditional joinery wherever possible — mortise and tenon, hand-cut dovetails, wedged through-tenons — because the old ways are often the strongest ways.

Our Journey
Built over time
2011
Founded in Copenhagen
Havn began in a small Copenhagen workshop with two craftspeople and a single mission: to make furniture that outlasts its owners.
2015
First collection
Our debut collection of five pieces sold out within weeks. The Hana Lounge Chair remains our most loved piece to this day.
2018
Expanded to Japan
We opened our first Japanese workshop in Kyoto, fusing Scandinavian minimalism with Japanese restraint.
2023
B Corp Certified
After years of sustainable practice, we earned B Corp certification — affirming our commitment to people and planet.
2026
Today
We now work with 30 craftspeople across four countries, shipping to homes in over 40 countries worldwide.
Sustainability
Good for the long run
Sustainability for us isn't a marketing angle — it's a founding principle. We believe the most sustainable piece of furniture is one that never needs replacing.
