Created to last for generations
We are aware of the impact of our actions and systematically work to improve our impact on the climate and environment. We manufacture furniture and interior that in all its simplicity fulfils several functions by virtue of materials, configuration and structure, and the idea behind each piece of furniture focuses on optimizing materials in terms of function, the environment and finance.
In each process of our production, we strive to ensure sustainability. We aim for a greener world while ensuring the best possible conditions for both employees and the environment. Our focus is to find a healthy balance between work environment, social responsibility, and environmentally friendly production.
Our products are designed to last for generations, and with honest and uncompromising materials, ensure our products are created to have a long life.
FSC®
Andersen Furniture is part of Design Concept Denmark, that is a FSC®-certified company. Our first FSC-certified collection is the chair collection Scope that consists of six models, all of which are certified. In addition, a wide selection of other products is FSC-certified and produced with environmental considerations. We work purposefully and ambitiously towards more FSC-certified products.
FSC is an international control and traceability system that helps us ensure and document that the wood we use comes from sustainable forestry and other sustainable sources.
The FSC label is thus your guarantee that the wood is sustainable and can be traced back to the forest in which it was felled and other sustainable sources. You always have the option to check for yourself whether a company or a product is FSC-certified by searching the Global FSC Certificate Database.
Our licence code is FSC® C179136.

MADE FROM RECYCLED PLASTIC
Furniture design is about thinking beyond form and function. When you buy an AC3 chair or Tono chair, you get excellent seating comfort and good acoustics while also contributing to the recycling of plastic for the benefit of the environment.
For the AC3 chair, the plastic part is made from recycled plastic sourced from industrial plastics such as defective plastic pallets, which are collected, cleaned, and transformed into new plastic. For the Tono chair, the shell is made of felt from recycled PET bottles. When you buy one Tono chair, you help to recycle 250 plastic bottles. These two chairs challenge the ‘use and throw away’ trend in favor of the environment and the economy.
PLANTING NEW TREES
We contribute to the planting of new trees. In 2021, we purchased 8,000 trees to be planted in both India and Denmark. The planting is carried out in collaboration with reputable partners, and the specific coordinates of where the trees are planted are recorded. Trees absorb CO2, which is beneficial for our ecosystem and helps in the fight against global warming. When trees are planted, it helps, among other things, to improve air quality, climate conditions, and enhance wildlife and insect habitats.
Trees absorb CO2, especially as they grow. In fact, trees can store carbon for several hundred years when used in construction or furniture.
