(active since 1952)
BoConcept is a Danish retailer, producing and selling pieces of furniture and homeware.

Along with IKEA, BoConcept is one of the most important and remarkable Scandinavian retailers, specialising in furnishing. The company trades worldwide and has approximately 265 subsidiary stores in more than 60 countries
The business started in 1952 as a small workshop in the city of Herning, Denmark. It was founded by two young cabinetmakers, Jens Ærthøj and Tage Mølholm. By 1954, the factory only counted four employees. However, it did not take long for the prosperous business to grow, and soon the company became one of the world's largest international furniture retailers. Nowadays BoConcept designs, manufactures and distributes contemporary furniture, accessories and lighting solutions for living rooms, dining rooms, bedrooms, home studies and outdoor spaces. The company’s experts also help the clients to create an individual design for their interiors.
The simplicity of BoConcept designs, their craftsmanship, elegant functionality and quality materials soon gained international fame. The company’s furniture pieces are appreciated all over the world and keep winning important awards, such as Danish Franchisee Award in 2007, The Red Dot Award in 2008 and 2013, The Diploma of the Danish Export Association & HRH Prince Henrik’s Medal of Honor in 2016 and The Good Design Award in 2017.
The company’s most notable products are undoubtedly upholstered furniture and chairs. Each item by BoConcept represents the quintessence of the best features of Danish design: functionality, minimalism, practicality and elegance. Along with such prominent makers as Arne Jacobsen, Henning Nørgaard and Knoll, BoConcept provides the finest design furniture.
Clients have always appreciated BoConcept for its commitment to traditions and impeccable quality, as well as an individual approach to each customer. It is thanks to the latter that all the company's products are unique, and therefore especially valuable. Art connoisseurs and Scandinavian design enthusiasts hunt for antique and vintage pieces of furniture by the maker at auctions around the world.
