In 2022, Skagerak was acquired by Fritz Hansen, bringing two pioneering Danish furniture design brands together as one company. Fritz Hansen stands behind Skagerak to bring the best of Danish design to every part of life, indoors and outdoors. Together the two companies expand design possibilities with high-quality craftsmanship and beautiful design for the hospitality industry.

Both their indoor and outdoor collections, along with accessories and lighting, offer a wide choice of products.

Ro and Fri, Egg and Swan, Fred and Let are just some of the lounge chairs particularly suitable for reception areas, lounges or for the corner of a cosy hotel room. Within the sofas, the Lune, the Favn, the Alphabet, the Lissoni will offer guests the perfect spot to relax, to meet people, to enjoy a book or a glass of wine.
