About SOFACOMPANY
Our story
2008
Cathrine and Christian Rudolph founded Scandinavian Design, producing high-quality, handcrafted sofas in Vietnam. The company started as a manufacturer and wholesaler, supplying furniture retailers. Today, we still build on that same foundation – skilled craftsmanship and production in Vietnam.
2012
Sofakompagniet was founded as an online-only business in Denmark. The idea was to sell sofas directly from the factory to the customer, cutting out costly middlemen.

Our first showroom opened in Korsør, giving Danish customers the opportunity to try out our beautiful sofas before buying.
