Furniture as an investment: On this page we show examples of furniture that can be a good investment. Furniture and interior design trends are changing, and therefore it can be difficult to spot whether a particular piece of furniture will be a good investment. An investment piece of furniture should be a piece of furniture that you yourself want to use and look at. Should the value of the furniture not increase as expected, you have at least benefited from your investment.

Why invest in Danish design furniture: It has often proved to be a good idea to spread your investments. Design furniture is another opportunity to spread your investments, and at the same time you can enjoy the furniture along the way. A lovely piece of furniture can be passed on to the next generation and become an unforgettable memory for your survivors.

Good Danish design as investment furniture: Especially after World War II, there was a focus on interior design and a renewal of Danish furniture design. Here, Danish furniture designers made a name for themselves, and the Danish furniture export began. Often the good design is associated with rare woods and / or a good quality of craftsmanship, and this will increase the value as investment furniture.

Which furniture designers are a good investment: Some designers have made a name for themselves with few but popular furniture, while other furniture designers are behind a myriad of furniture where some models are more in demand than others. Popular furniture designers include Arne Jacobsen, Børge Mogensen, Kaare Klint, Finn Juhl, Mogens Koch, Nanna Ditzel, Poul Kjærholm, Illum Wikkelsøe, Fritz Henningsen, Ole Wanscher, Fritz Henningsen and Verner Panton. But also in this area the trend is changing, and popular designers at Design Classique are currently, for example, Andreas Hansen, Kurt Østervig and several others.

Rare types of wood as investment furniture: We point to furniture made of rosewood, rosewood, mahogany, teak and wengé as possible investment furniture. Several of these tree species / subspecies are endangered, and therefore there is no, or a very limited trade in these tree species.

Good craftsmanship quality as investment furniture: In the 1950s, Denmark gained its heyday as a furniture manufacturer, and new furniture factories emerged throughout the country. The Danish furniture from the 1950s and some decades onwards was often made by carpenters at smaller furniture manufacturers. The high quality of craftsmanship associated with rare woods and / or a good design will increase the value as an investment piece of furniture.

The stand on an investment piece of furniture: As with other art, there are lovers of everything. Therefore, there may also be buyers for a worn and very patinated piece of furniture, as long as the piece of furniture is original and has a good history. Other furniture increases in value if it appears newly restored and / or newly upholstered.

The furniture manufacturer behind an investment piece of furniture: Some furniture has over time been produced by several manufacturers. For a furniture enthusiast, it is important who produced the furniture. Often, furniture from the first manufacturer of a piece of furniture is more in demand than the same piece of furniture produced by a later manufacturer.

The price of an investment piece of furniture: Maybe you are good at spotting trend and decor, and can thereby make the right choices. As an investment, the purchase price is not always important. The potential, on the other hand, is much more important. In recent years, some Danish design furniture has risen to trade prices that exceed most people's expectations, and in an uncertain time, alternative investments such as furniture will be increasing.
When investing in furniture, we generally recommend that the furniture can meet at least 3 of the following criteria:

1. good design and a recognized designer.
2. a rare or discontinued wood species.
3. good craftsmanship quality.
4. good original, or good restored condition.
5. a recognized furniture manufacturer.
