Copenhagen

Copenhagen carries a full range of contemporary furniture for living room, bedroom, dining room, and office spaces and offers complimentary interior design services. Copenhagen shops the world for the best design at the best value and features furniture created by both iconic and up-and-coming designers. Copenhagen has become an integral member of Austin's design community and, as a family-owned business, values its customers as members of the "Copenhagen family." Established in 1970. In April 1970, the first Copenhagen Imports opened in Phoenix, Arizona, bringing a still-developing city its first furniture showroom dedicated solely to Danish Modern style. Founders Tony Christensen and Erik Hansen made the decision to move to Phoenix based on their passion for good design and their desire to have a positive impact upon the desert Southwest by bringing a new type of design to the valley. At the time, local furniture-store owners in the Phoenix area scoffed at the two Danes' design ideas and concepts, saying "That stuff will never sell. Six months and they're out!" Quite the contrary--that "stuff" did sell! It sold so well, in fact, that shortly after, Hansen and Christensen opened additional stores in Tempe, Tucson, and Scottsdale. Continued growth moved Copenhagen into Texas, with stores first opening in El Paso, San Antonio, and, soon after, Austin. Though the number of Copenhagen stores has grown, Copenhagen has always remained family owned and operated.
