Nothing is too creative, too fun or too ambitious for Livingly.
Visual and mindful pleasure in an often chaotic world
Since 2008 Livingly has grown from local to global and today the company is the proud supplier of high quality products, which are being sold at different profiled wholesalers in more than 20 countries. The customers include art and design museums, gift and department stores, interior and furniture stores, book stores, hotels and city monuments.
Kent Sejdelin Livingly products are made by homeworkers in Denmark.
In 2008 the company was sold to the creative couple Kent Sejdelin and Louise Helmersen. Kent has a background in project management and sales and his wife Louise is an architect and designer. They both saw a great potential of fulfilment in starting Livingly, because of the mindful pleasure of designing some thing with your hands, and the end less opportunities of visual beauty in working with hanging sculptures, decorative mobiles and sophisticated paper craft.
Livingly is of course rooted in the love for good Danish design and the feast for the eye, but the company is also built upon an ambition of a social and environmental respon sibility. This is a very important part of Livingly and the people who are producing Livinglys products are highly valued homeworkers. This means that all products made by Livingly is high standard, handmade luxury products, made by devoted people to create pleasure in peoples’ lives & homes.
Louise Helmersen
The story about Livingly started years ago, when the company was built upon a proud heritage from the Danish artist and silversmiths Annie & Bent Knudsen, who put their talents into designing Christmas ornaments and mobiles.

One of the key values in Livingly´s vision, is to care for people and care for the environment. Therefore all material used in Livingly´s production originates from sustainable and en vironment friendly production. This means that all paper and wood used in production originates from sustain able forestry and environmental responsible companies in Europe.
The ambition of social and environmental responsibility
And so Livingly was put into the world for one simple reason; to create a visual and mindful experience in an often chaotic world. The company started as a local idea, but grew quickly into a global company with big inten tions and beautiful outcomes.
Livingly is a playful and poetic uni verse of hanging sculptures, deco rative mobiles, and sophisticated paper craft with an ambition of cre ating design, that makes people feel calm, uplifted and at home, even when you’re far away from home.
Proud supplier of high quality products and custom-made projects
For Livingly, it´s all about the love of decoration, the satisfaction of the senses to the eye of the beholder and seeking new creative possibili ties within their own products and custom-made projects. It is with great pride, that Livingly have made the decoration of the high end department store John Lewis and Partners in UK, Christmas decorations for Hotêl de Crillon in Paris, custom-made greeting cards for Christian Dior and custommade products and co-branding for COS, Bauhaus Museum in Dessau and Tivoli in Copenhagen.

In 1969 Anni & Bent Knudsen acquired all rights to a series of paper cuttings from the 30-50’ies designed by the author and artist Mrs. Birte Dietz. The designs are characterized by the flat paper emerging into whirling three-di mensional fairytale shapes like the stork, swan, cat and mermaid. The witch is a re-design made by Bent Knudsen based on the original Dietz design.
