Scandinavian furniture: a perfect balance between form and function

With their sleek design, both functional and warm, Scandinavian furniture is instantly recognizable. Light colors such as white predominate to bring maximum light into your interior. Often made of natural wood, the furniture features sober lines and geometric shapes. Another key material, natural fabrics such as linen or velvet, helps create a comfortable interior.

Luminous white, pastel shades, warm wood, comforting fabrics, minimalist lines: Scandinavian designer furniture is a must-have for any living room, dining room, bedroom, or office to create a soothing atmosphere.

Our opinion: choose Nordic design to enjoy a relaxing hygge-style atmosphere in every room of your home.

6 Scandinavian designer furniture brands available at Jbonet

From young brands to Scandinavian companies specializing in reissues, Jbonet provides you with furniture from the great names in Nordic decor. Here is an overview of these Scandinavian style essentials and their flagship products available among the designer furniture brands featured in our catalog.

&Tradition: a complete range offering furniture from historical and contemporary Scandinavian designers

Little Petra &Tradition Nice, Cannes, Monaco Scandinavian designer furniture
Little Petra - &Tradition

Initially specializing in reissuing lighting by Danish designer Verner Panton, this Scandinavian brand eventually expanded its range of designer products by offering other reissued items, such as the Bellevue lamp or the Mayor sofa. Founded in 2010, the &Tradition brand now offers a wide choice of Scandinavian furniture from the 1930s to the present day. It thus creates a bridge between the Scandinavian design of the past and products by great contemporary designers like Mia Hamborg and Benjamin Hubert.

If one designer product had to be mentioned for which the Scandinavian brand is known, the Little Petra armchair designed by Viggo Boesen would certainly be among the favorites. Designed in 1938, this armchair with its comforting lines has enjoyed great success. It is impossible to remain indifferent to the comfort offered by its sharp design. Organic, rounded shapes, welcoming upholstery, timeless lines: this armchair perfectly combines style and function in the pure spirit of Scandinavian style.

Normann Copenhagen: a major player in new Scandinavian design

Form Chair - Normann Copenhagen

Founded in 1999 by Jan Andersen and Poul Madsen, this Scandinavian brand aimed from the start to use design at its highest level to “make the ordinary extraordinary.” A successful gamble, notably with now-essential Scandinavian furniture like the Block trolley or the Era armchair.

Among the designers associated with the Normann Copenhagen furniture brand is Simon Legald, whose style is characterized by sleek and timeless design. The Form chair is a perfect example. This functional chair combines an ergonomic polypropylene shell with an elegant wooden base.

Muuto: a Danish company with an evocative Finnish name meaning "new perspective"

Focus on Doze Armchair Muuto Scandinavian designer furniture
Doze Lounge Chair Low Back - Muuto

Launched in 2008, this Danish publisher works with the new generation of Scandinavian design. It stands out particularly for the durability of its products. Indeed, the Scandinavian brand strives to reduce its environmental impact by focusing on materials such as wood, aluminum, or recycled materials that allow for the creation of durable furniture.

Among the emblematic pieces of furniture from Muuto is the Doze armchair designed by Anderssen & Voll. It is the Scandinavian brand’s first large lounge chair. Inspired by 1970s Scandinavian design, this furniture, which combines an armchair and ottoman, offers a contemporary version of the classic lounge chair with leather or fabric upholstery.

Gubi: a Scandinavian design publisher with cult products like the Pacha armchair or the B-Table and S-Table collection

B-table - Gubi

Since 1967, the Scandinavian brand Gubi has sworn by the charm of vintage furniture. It has been reissuing iconic furniture from the 30s and 50s since its inception. These reissues have even brought back into the spotlight furniture with a particularly refined Art Deco style.

The CDC.1 armchair and the CDC.2 sofa designed by the Italian Carlo de Carli in 1954 have notably been updated by Gubi thanks to the Danish Kvadrat fabric commonly used for the brand’s other furniture. Another emblematic vintage piece from the 50s: the Copacabana Lounge Chair, one of the chairs by designer Mathieu Matégot. Dating from 1955, this chair with its both chic and relaxed design combines the comfort of a padded seat and the pure elegance of its line built around a curved tubular frame. On the side of furniture more focused on functionality are the wooden tables designed in the 50s by French designer Marcel Gascoin. The B-Table, like the S-Table, are extendable pieces of furniture intended for the dining rooms of small post-war homes.

The house of Gubi also reissues more recent furniture like the iconic Pacha armchair designed by French designer Pierre Paulin in 1975. Lacking legs, this foam-based furniture known for its generous curves was one of the first lounge chairs to have a seat closer to the ground.

Hay: a Danish designer furniture publisher offering excellent value for money

AAS 32 Hay
AAS32 Stool - Hay

Founded in the 2000s, this Danish brand revisits Scandinavian design with more dynamic colors and more playful shapes. It also stands out from other Scandinavian designer furniture brands by offering its designer furniture at a more affordable price. Sofas, chairs, armchairs, bar stools, dining tables, coffee tables, shelves, garden furniture—its complete range of products fits perfectly into contemporary interiors.

The chairs from the Hay brand are notably inspired by Scandinavian furniture of the 50s and 60s with their contoured shapes that combine ergonomics and minimalist design.

Fritz Hansen: the creator of many iconic Nordic design pieces like the Egg chair and the Series 7 chair

Egg Armchair Scandinavian designer furniture
Egg Armchair - Fritz Hansen

It was at the end of the 19th century that Fritz Hansen and his son began their activity by manufacturing high-quality furniture in their cabinetmaking workshop in Copenhagen. They quickly became global leaders in the field of plywood. Fritz Hansen is one of the oldest Scandinavian furniture brands and, as such, has helped shape Danish design.

The Scandinavian brand is behind iconic furniture such as the Ant chair designed by Arne Jacobsen. With its narrow waist and thin legs, this chair owes its name to its modern and minimalist Scandinavian design. Another flagship piece from the brand, the Series 7 chair, by the same designer as the Ant chair, stands out for its seat made of a single piece of laminated wood. In addition to these emblematic Scandinavian design chairs, Arne Jacobsen also designed the Egg armchair, whose rounded shapes covered in fabric or leather offer a sphere of privacy with optimal comfort.
