From iconic lighting to one-of-a-kind homewares, our mission is to provide a new generation of heirlooms that inspire people to create unique, meaningful spaces in which to live and work.

Dansk is an inspired home brand created in 1954 by Ted and Martha Nierenberg to bring the elegant simplicity and natural materials of Scandinavian design to the American market at reasonable prices. The mission of the Dansk brand is to preserve Dansk's heritage, revive many of the exceptional designs from its archives, and collaborate with leading designers around the world to create new products that will someday be passed through generations.
