What Living Art does

Living Art A/S is a Danish interior solutions company founded in 1987 and headquartered in Søborg (north of Copenhagen). The company specializes in intelligent textile solutions for indoor climate management, offering curtains, sun shading (markiser, screens, persienner, rullegardiner), acoustic panels, carpets, and motorized automation. Its differentiated product portfolio includes certified categories such as BIOACTIVE anti-bacterial, AIR air-purifying, FLAMMSTOP flame-retardant, AKUSTIK acoustic, Klimagardiner energy-saving, and Luxaflex Duette plissé curtains, integrated with Somfy TaHoma/Connexoon home-automation systems. Living Art distributes and installs products sourced from premium third-party manufacturers including Kvadrat, Silent Gliss, Luxaflex, Velux, Acrimo, Stilla, Offecct, Dock Four, and Woodnotes.

The company operates a hybrid go-to-market model combining field sales consultants, a physical showroom in Søborg, and a mobile showroom concept (Gardinbussen) that visits customer sites. It serves three primary customer segments — Erhverv (business/commercial), Offentlig (public institutions including schools, care homes, healthcare, and government), and Privat (residential) — with named enterprise references including Microsoft, Deloitte, ISS Facility Service, Nykredit, IT-Universitetet, Zealand Pharma, Hotel Sanders, and Villa Copenhagen, alongside municipalities such as Vallensbæk and Gladsaxe Kommune. Pricing is project-based with free on-site consultation, custom measurement, professional installation, and recurring service/maintenance contracts including tilstandsrapport (condition report) offerings that generate ongoing revenue. Living Art won the Gazelle-virksomhed growth award four times (2003, 2004, 2016, 2017) and opened a regional branch in Central and Southern Jutland in January 2023.

On October 1, 2024, Living Art was acquired by Fischer and continues operating as part of the Fischer group, with the public-facing site redirecting to fischergardiner.dk. The company remains a private Danish entity under Fischer ownership, with no public listing, no venture capital or private equity funding rounds disclosed, and no headcount or revenue figures publicly stated in the source data.

Direct peers

• Luxaflex: Hunter Douglas-owned premium brand for blinds, shades, curtains and motorized window treatments. Direct competitor in the same product categories and customer segments (residential, B2B, project) that Living Art serves, with overlapping distribution of Duette plissè systems.
• Silent Gliss: Swiss manufacturer of premium curtain track and rail systems, including motorized solutions such as the Wave system. Closely comparable to Living Art's curtain-system offering and project-based installation model, though Silent Gliss also serves as one of Living Art's supplier partners.

Broad incumbents

• Hunter Douglas: Global incumbent and parent of Luxaflex, offering blinds, shades, shutters and architectural products worldwide. Competes with Living Art across commercial and residential window-treatment categories as a much larger, multi-brand portfolio player.
• JYSK: Danish-owned retail chain selling bedding, curtains, blinds and home furnishings across the Nordics and Europe. Overlaps with Living Art in residential curtains, sun shading and home accessories but at a mass-market price point without the project-based installation services.
• IKEA: Global home-furnishings retailer with a broad curtain, blind and indoor-climate assortment sold through showrooms and online. Competes with Living Art for residential and small-business window-treatment spend, though IKEA does not offer custom on-site measure-and-install services.
• BoConcept: Danish-designed furniture and interior accessories retailer with showrooms across Europe, the Americas and Asia. Comparable to Living Art in offering premium Danish interior solutions to residential and corporate clients, though focused on furniture rather than window treatments.
• Bauhaus: European DIY and home-improvement chain with strong Nordic presence selling blinds, awnings, curtains and flooring. Overlaps with Living Art on retail sun-shading and flooring categories but competes primarily on price and self-installation rather than bespoke measure-and-install service.
• Kinnarps: Swedish office-interior and acoustic-solutions provider selling furniture, sound-absorbing panels and workspace concepts to corporate and public-sector buyers. Comparable to Living Art in the B2B/B2G office acoustic and interior-solutions segment, particularly for acoustic paneling and large-project installations.

Others

• VELUX: Danish manufacturer of roof windows and skylights that Living Art already pairs with for attic and skylight shading solutions. Not a direct competitor in curtains, but adjacent in the indoor-climate and roof-window shading value chain that Living Art addresses.

Emerging players

• Renson: Belgian manufacturer of outdoor sun shading, ventilation louvres and façade solutions (e.g. Fixscreen, Pergola). Comparable to Living Art on the external sun-shading and indoor-climate side of the business, particularly for commercial and residential screens and awnings.
