Materials

In every encounter with a unique piece of material we aim for a combination of authenticity and perfection. From the selection of quality and appearance to material combinations. From the first wood shaving hits the floor until the final coat of oil has been applied.

The passion for wood is a primeval drive, and cabinetmaking and wood are accompanied by carefully selected materials of a similar classic beauty. Marble and other natural stones for their cool, elegant expression that complements the warm expression of the wood. Linoleum for its pleasant tactual qualities. Iron, copper and brass for contrast and accent.

Garde Hvalsøe’s universe is based on natural materials that provide inspiration due to their textural quality, diversity and historical roots. The grain in old Danish oak tells the story of life in the wood over hundreds of years, while the veins and fossils in the natural stone tell the story of the very creation of earth. Treated with love and respect, these materials will continue to be sources of vitality and beauty well into the future.
