Collection
Here you will find a curated selection of furniture currently available at by Laden. Each piece is chosen for its original qualities and carefully reworked with a focus on craftsmanship, materials and colour. Together they form a living collection of unique furniture and furniture art – including the more expressive and artistic Masterpieces.
The collection presents furniture art created with respect for what already exists. Each piece carries traces of its history, not hidden but integrated as an active part of its new expression. Through colour, surface and craftsmanship, the furniture is developed for contemporary use – where function and art merge naturally.
Part of the collection can also be experienced physically through our collaboration with Design Retro in Sønderborg. Selected unique furniture and furniture art from by Laden are exhibited in their showroom, where colours, materials and details can be experienced up close. If you would like to see the pieces in person, you can visit their showroom or read more at www.Design-Retro.dk
Each piece is an individual work of furniture art – created as unique furniture with character, depth and a story that goes beyond function. These are pieces that do not simply fill a space, but bring presence, atmosphere and personality into everyday life.

Big Sister Ida’s Nesting Tables
These nesting tables were generally in good condition when they arrived at the workshop. However, the veneer on one of the tabletops was damaged, opening the door to a deliberate and sensitive reinterpretation. The tabletop has therefore been clad in gold leaf, adding a new layer of depth and character while maintaining respect for the original piece.
The tables date from the 1920s–30s and are characterized by their elegant proportions and beautifully curved legs. The warm colors emphasize the lightness of the design and give the pieces a calm, timeless expression, where history meets contemporary furniture art.

The shelving unit has been renewed in a high-gloss cherry red finish, allowing the color to interact with the light and accentuate the proportions and details of the form. The surface brings a contemporary expression to the piece without compromising its original character.

Unique Trays
These trays are created from old paintings and function as everyday functional art. Each piece is one of a kind, where existing materials are given new life through a careful and deliberate process.

Console Mirror?
This console mirror was found at a Kirkens Korshær thrift store in Sønderborg. As the mirror glass had already been replaced, new opportunities emerged to work freely with the frame and allow the expression to evolve in a new direction.
