the Hansen Family handmade furniture

The Hansen Family is a label with a strong handcrafted character, founded by designer Gesa Hansen who grew up in a scandinavian family of carpenters, designers and architects. After graduating at the Bauhaus-University and stopping at a few design studios such as Jean Nouvel and H5 in Paris, and the NDC in Tokyo, she decided to create her own label, combining new design and family savoir-faire in the family atelier. “Homegrown” in the business comes from the natural resources of oaks that we harvest in local forests, in this way allowing each piece to be handcrafted and unique. The first collection won two times the international Red Dot award and the International Good Design Award of the Chicago Athenaeum.

The Hansen Family furniture are made in a small atelier using ecologically grown wood, which are mainly coming from massive oak and sustainable forests.  Located at the heart of the Sauerland region in Germany, the main atelier is surrounded by these forests and therefore nestled in the woods. Each piece of wood is precociously selected by hand, which allows the designer to say that not one piece is alike to the other. The design features the wood itself, giving birth to handcrafted and unique objects.

Combining minimalism with sustainably grown wood, the Sound Sideboard and Radio Rack blend into the surrounding decor while providing you with the audio requirements you need to rock out. The Remix Sound Sideboard was created for the brand Tivoli Audio. It provides the perfect space for Tivoli’s Radio Combo. While the radio combo is visible, you can hide less beautiful devices in the lower cases.
