We started with our hands.
With needle, thread, and an eye for detail.
Since 1948, we have upholstered, refined, and transformed.
From a small workshop in Aalborg, Denmark, to a name
that sits comfortably in both homes and history.
Our Heritage
1948
Saddle maker Svend Kurt Hansen
established himself as a furniture upholsterer
in Aalborg, Denmark.
1950s
Svend made a comfortable living
from bringing new life
to worn-out furniture.
1984 - 2025
Third generation, Henrik Hvid Hansen,
joined the company, and in the 1990s,
he began developing Bent Hansen’s
furniture collection. The transformation from
upholstery workshop to design brand
had begun.
1966
Svend’s son, Bent, followed in the footsteps
of his father, and together
they expanded the family business
and began manufacturing bespoke interiors
for restaurants, hotels, and ships.
Our Values
Let’s build something that lasts
It is our goal to offer furniture that feels considered – not just chosen. Pieces that settle into your home with quiet confidence. We provide a versatile range of timeless seating with strong silhouettes and lasting comfort. Design with depth – made to be lived with, not just looked at. Well-crafted pieces that invite touch and stand up to time.
Comfort as design language
At Bent Hansen, comfort isn’t an add-on. It’s the starting point. So even after hours of use, it still feels right. That’s how furniture earns its place. By being felt, not just seen. We have been committed to comfort since 1948. When you feel truly at ease in your home, the urge for constant change and renewal diminishes. You will not only love your comfortable furniture, you will keep it, care for it, and even repair it if necessary. Because in comfort, contentment thrives.
The right fit
With a wide palette of leathers and fabrics, our collection adapts with ease. Whether you are furnishing a dining room, a restaurant, a summer house or something in between, our material selection will offer both freedom and fit.
