Reviews
Danish Design has always been my go-to place for furniture shopping. They have the most fashionable but also timeless pieces. And while some are not cheap they are made with great quality. We bought our favourite dining walnut table that is ever so timeless but also the most versatile being able to sit 6 and up to 10-12 when we extend it. It is our third time renovating and we are taking this favourite piece w us in our move… and more importantly we always get great service from danish design even after many years.

Danish Design have a wide range of designer furniture for selection. Be prepared to spend hours during your visit as you will feel like owning every single piece of them that is on display. We were fortunate to be served by the professional Danish Design Team, especially Karl, who made the whole experience that much better! Purchased a Bolia Sofa and Skovby Dining Table during our visit. Cant wait to receive them! Highly recommend to any homeowners looking to equip your house with quality pieces! 1
