Orskov Copenhagen

Our company was founded in 1953 by Torben Ørskov. The idea was to produce simple and functional designs at reasonable prices. Right from the start Torben Ørskov teamed up with a network of the best Danish architects and designers, including Jørn Utzon and Finn Juhl – collaborations that has resulted in innovative yet timeless designs, that over time have achieved iconic status and a number of design awards. Torben opened his own shop “Form & Farve” in Copenhagen in 1953, based on his experience from his work in a department store and a wholesale design company in USA. Form & Farve quickly became a Danish institution for all the style-conscious young people. Torben opened 5 Form & Farve design shops. One in Germany and 4 in Denmark from 1953 to 1986. The shops were the place to go to, if you wanted something trendy and functional for your home. Today Ørskov Copenhagen has been taken over by Torben Ørskov's son Jeppe Ørskov and his wife Signe Ottesen Ørskov. With more than 70 years of experience in Design and Interior, our company still thrives to keep the design strategy, that leads all the way back to the beginning.
