Onecollection

Onecollection was founded in 1990 by Ivan Hansen and Henrik Sørensen who still run the company today and passionately provide high quality design solutions in cooperation with excellent designers.

In 2001, Onecollection was trusted with the exclusive rights to manufacture and relaunch Finn Juhl’s sculptural and iconic furniture by Finn Juhl’s widow. Today the unique Finn Juhl collection consists of 40 classic masterpieces, all of which Onecollection manufactures with the utmost respect for their original heritage and strict demands for quality.

For Onecollection, venturing into Finn Juhl’s design universe has been like embarking on a joyful journey with constant surprises in terms of shapes, aesthetics and unique design details. The Finn Juhl collection, which is branded under the name “House of Finn Juhl” has its own website and identity: House of Finn Juhl

Onecollection, or Hansen and Sørensen as the company was originally called at its start in 1990, is based on conviction and personal relationships. The attitude is, and has always been, that in order to take in a project – whether it is a new chair or the full interior of a building – there has to be good vibes from the beginning.

From a small outpost, practically as far west as you can get in Denmark, we have managed to make clients all around the globe believe in projects. The journey has not been without obstacles, but with passion and enthusiasm we keep convincing people – not least some very critical banks in the beginning – and this is still the main reason why Onecollection is thriving today.

We decided early on that if an architect or a project didn’t appeal to us, the answer would have to be negative – even if the project on the surface seemed attractive. However, there are no rules without exceptions. This we experienced when a young designer – Henrik Tengler – contacted us. We already had a close relationship with another designer – Søren Holst – who designed for os and worked sort of like a mentor. Now suddenly, this new guy from north of Copenhagen came running with a design for a conference chair. The chemistry didn’t work, but Tengler was persistent and kept asking. His stubbornness and belief in his project earned respect with us and we finally agreed to produce the chair. The chair later on became our best selling piece of furniture with more than 50.000 sold to date. At a personal level, we gradually developed a good partnership and friendship with “the lad from the big city”, who still contributes significantly to the development of new furniture.
