About Us
Once Loved Is Never Enough
The Beginnings
Mid Century Furniture U.K Ltd has been trading vintage furniture since the early 1990’s.
With telephone directories and paper roadmaps, Peter Robinson headed east into Europe in search of mid-century treasures. Holland, Denmark and Swedens garages, basements, ‘Genbrugs’ and ‘Kringloopwinkels’ were scoured for the finest furniture from the generations before. Vast hauls were nursed back to the UK where demand was limited at best!
Fortunately for us, the quality of Scandinavian design, its impeccable construction and its adaptability to today's contemporary homes have sparked a global interest in this timeless style.
Progression of the Company
For many years, we have supplied to trade customers across the UK (Auctions, in-person) and worldwide (Containers & Online). However, as demand has grown, supply has dwindled, and costs have increased, we’ve embraced the challenge of incorporating a retail element while staying true to our core value: offering the finest sourced items at the best prices.
The future of UKDK Furniture includes a greater focus on online sales so we can spread the joy of quality, affordable and beautiful Scandinavian furniture to as many homes as possible.
Why do we do this?
Each item we sell embodies the passion and craftsmanship of its original creation. We believe that furniture once loved is never enough - It deserves a new, loving home in its next stage of life. And we love guiding you towards the discovery of your perfect item.
The ever changing and often unique stock we work with creates a stimulating environment for us to work in as well as a great chance for you, our customers, to find something perfect that you’d never considered before.
We ensure each and every piece is fit for use, stabilising any faults and thoroughly cleaning them. Our approach focuses on conservation not restoration, allowing us to keep our pricing competitive.
Where you come in
As our valued customers from the vanguard, your job is to discover and appreciate the rich history behind each piece. From the designers and craftsmen to the very first owners and our dedicated team both here in the UK and Denmark, we all play a part in preserving, presenting and enjoying these treasures. So, we encourage you to bring these stories into your home, savour the beauty they offer and let everyone know where they can find their own piece of Scandinavian joy!
