Collection

Garde Hvalsøe’s collection springs from the Danish furniture tradition. As a celebration of iconic cabinetmakers and proud craftsmanship, our design philosophy is simple: hand-crafting and a timeless aesthetic combined with natural materials form the backbone of a collection that has been a study in the art of simplification and uncompromising quality from day one.

Every single design is specially adapted and built for the individual project. That is how we have always done it, and that is how we have expanded and refined the collection. The differences among the individual models and pieces of furniture lie in the details. The height of the drawers. The technical construction. All the hand-crafted and aesthetic refinements that combine to form an extraordinary framework for unique solutions.

LUNDGAARD & TRANBERG Designed by the architects Boje Lundgaard and Lene Tranberg in 1992

A born design classic by virtue of its obvious quality, visible finger joints and well-balanced proportions with reference to a long sideboard or chest of drawers. The Lundgaard & Tranberg model consists of a cabinet that frames three finger-jointed drawers with two identical top drawers and a tall bottom drawer. In the honest and authentic design the gaps between the drawers offer a discreet glimpse of their content and also serve as grips.

True to the original, the Lundgaard & Tranberg model is only available in a version with three drawers in height.

MINIMAL Designed by Søren Hvalsøe Garde in 1999

A distinctive aspect of the Minimal model is the floating expression of the drawers. The cabinet is pulled back, creating an open space around each drawer and resulting in a shadow effect that gives rise to an elegant, almost graphic expression that highlights the drawers beautifully. The gap between the drawers acts as a grip. The frame consists of a veneered U-shaped cabinet with an individually selected worktop.

The Minimal model is available with two or three drawers in height.

KABINET Developed by Søren Hvalsøe Garde in 2000

The Kabinet model has a classical expression with visible finger joints and clear references to a sideboard or a chest of drawers. The drawers are placed in a single cabinet that frames each of the drawer sections and underscores the experience of a well-composed hand-crafted piece of furniture. The gap between the drawers acts as a grip. The individually selected worktop elegantly floats above the veneered cabinet.

The Kabinet model is available with two or three drawers in height.

HOELGAARD Designed by Martin Hoelgaard in 2005

The Hoelgaard model stands out with a tightly defined grip line that creates a unique graphic expression. The model has a traditional furniture structure, and the finger-jointed drawers are placed in a single cabinet that frames each drawer. The grip is integrated into the body of the cabinet in the form of a small opening in the transverse centrally placed bar on the front – an elegant detail that also reduces visibility into the drawer. End walls, base and top are veneered and combined with an individually selected worktop.

The Hoelgaard model is available with two or three drawers in height.

DINESEN Designed by Søren Hvalsøe Garde and Martin Hoelgaard in 2013

The Dinesen model is a modern classic made of Dinesen planks as a celebration of nature’s own creation. The long, wide planks continue across the finger-jointed drawer fronts, which highlights the beautiful grain. The moulded drawer sides make it possible to place the drawers in close extension of each other, providing the unbroken aesthetic impression of a single plank. The solid cabinet with a rebate front elegantly frames the drawer sections but can also be combined with an individually selected worktop. The gap between the drawers acts as a grip.

The Dinesen model is available with two or three drawers in height.

OEO Designed by OEO Studio in 2016

The OEO model adds a new dimension to Garde Hvalsøe’s signature design with a striking expression that celebrates sublime craftsmanship and cabinetmaking traditions with inspiration from Japan. Each drawer section is covered with vertical slats in solid wood. As a unique detail, the sections are separated by vertical raw-steel bars in a sophisticated meeting of raw and refined materials. The vertical grip is elegantly milled into the front. The drawer sections are framed by a combination of wood and raw steel and an individually selected worktop.

The OEO model is available with two main drawers in height.

GH TALL CABINETS Designed by Søren Hvalsøe Garde and Martin Hoelgaard in 2011

Our kitchen solutions are often supplemented with tall cabinets. The interior of the cabinet is adapted to the individual client’s needs, for example to accommodate a built-in refrigerator, freezer, wine refrigerator, dishwasher, oven or other elements. Similarly, the fronts of the cabinets are designed to match the overall expression of the project. GH Tall Cabinets are available in veneer or melamine and are pulled back to provide some open space around each door. That creates shadow effects and results in a graphic expression that frames the cabinet as well as the individual doors.

GH GLASS CABINET Designed by Søren Hvalsøe Garde in 1995

An almost transparent piece of furniture of superb elegance. The frame of GH Glass Cabinet is beautifully mitred with a visible dovetail joint, while the two doors are mounted with flap hinges for an exclusive expression. Two glass shelves promote the light, elegant appearance and highlight the backboard. The result is a hand-crafted piece of furniture with an inherent timeless quality.

GH WARDROBE Designed by Søren Hvalsøe Garde in 2005

GH Wardrobe is an exclusive wardrobe solution that consists of an elegant cabinet front with a solid frame and veneer moulding with solid glued-on slats. The design is light, straightforward, timeless. The interior of the cabinet is adapted to individual needs, underscoring the bespoke character of hand-crafted furniture.

GH DOOR Designed by Søren Hvalsøe Garde in 2015

A classic panelled door in extraordinary hand-crafted quality. The frame is handcrafted in solid wood with either solid wood or veneer panels. The panels have a shadow-groove trim for a lighter and more sophisticated look. GH Door is unframed and comes with a visible or invisible doorjamb that is elegantly rounded and mounted with a shadow-groove trim for a light modern expression. With its stylish and subtle look, the door appears as an exclusive design element.
