Confidently hand-crafted and uniquely designed, Wendelbo has captured the design industry for over 60 years now and we have no doubt they will capture your attention as well.

Welcome To The Stage, Wendelbo

Emerging in 1955 from Denmark, Wendelbo tells the story of a Danish family that over six decades and three generations have established a brand of effortlessly crafting pieces that are timeless and luxurious. 

On a street corner in Aarhus in 1955, the small workshop opened its doors to the public.

Driven by the desire to create and produce one of a kind custom sofas, Tage Peterson established his brand in the 50’s with the same intention and traditional craftsmanship that were much alike to the couture fashion houses such as Dior or Givenchy at the time. Proudly incorporating this crafted precision into the newly founded brand’s work, Peterson created pieces out of his Aarhus workshop that were being made and personally curated for the sensibility and purpose of the European clientele.

While their ethos has remained, Wendelbo’s story is one of transformation – how a small furniture workshop turned into an international furniture and design company. 

Although strongly established as a business, alongside a number of major companies and brands the 1980’s brought on a time of re-invention. Wendelbo was passed down to the next generation of designers – Christina and Lars Wendelbo who are responsible in growing and blossoming the brand to what we know today as the chic industry competitor for furniture on a much more global scale. Introducing a shift of the brands style, to a contemporary yet tailored influence and ensuring their ethos of craftsmanship remained principal.

Continuing their evolution, Wendelbo moved its production to Vietnam in 2007 where their manufacturing facilities would be built and run under their danish influence and their quality and craftsmanship would continue.

Alongside their brand identity and story, what makes Wendelbo a leader in the industry is a strong sense of the current trends on a global scale. 

Since 2015, when Wendelbo was added under our stable of brands, Trit House is proud to be partnered with a like-minded leader in high quality and well-designed furniture that is supplied to over 25 countries. Alongside this global scale of production and design, Wendelbo’s strong sense of trends that allow their danish made furniture to work so well for the Australian lifestyle. 

“With a keen sense of current trends and of life as it is lived at home, in the workplace or wherever people get together, Wendelbo offers characteristic furniture with a clear identity and effortless comfort. We are driven by a strong passion for design and are of the conviction that a long-lasting aesthetic is the best path to sustainability.”

Developing this range of upholstery and furniture collections that are cohesive to both private homes, where style and function are the focus – or in commercial and public spaces where the priority is a long-lasting furniture solution that offers a definitive purpose. Allowing the purchaser to transform and create their Wendelbo’s core collections to be something curated just for them. Choosing buttery warm leather lounge chairs for a home in the Highlands of New South Wales, bold yet playful Natural Stone Coffee and Side Tables for offices in the CBD of Victoria or soothing tones and textures of a modular sofa for a coastal home in Sunshine State.
