What HOLMRIS B8 does

HOLMRIS B8 (legal entity HolmrisB8 A/S, headquartered in Bjerringbro, Denmark) is a commercial furniture and interior design company that designs, manufactures, and distributes workplace, learning, care, and hospitality interiors across the Nordic region, the Netherlands, and Germany. The company operates four primary business units — Office, Learning, Care, and Hospitality — serving enterprise, education, hospitality, and public sector clients with named projects including Danske Bank HQ, 1 Hotel Copenhagen, Minor Hotels, VELUX LKR Innovation House, Technical University of Denmark, VIA University College, Castellum's Sea Circle, and Jeudan. Its product portfolio combines own-brand collections (the core Holmris B8 Collection, the heritage design brand Labofa founded in 1943, and the in-house Recrafted line of upcycled and recycled furniture) with resale distribution rights for over 1,000 international design brands including HAY, Fritz Hansen, Vitra, Muuto, and GUBI.

Revenue is generated through three streams: (1) hardware sales of own-brand and third-party furniture, (2) professional services billed at DKK 850 per architect hour and DKK 695 per service technician hour for design consultation, project management, assembly, and installation, and (3) managed circular economy services (Take-Back, Donationsnetværk donation network, repair/refurbishment, and lifetime extension) supported by environmental surcharges of 1.87% on orders under DKK 1M and 0.97% above that threshold. Distribution is predominantly direct enterprise sales with dedicated account and project managers, complemented by inside sales for mid-market, an e-commerce webshop (shop.holmrisb8.com), physical showrooms in major Nordic cities, and acquired partner firms in Sweden (AB Evert Lindelöf, Addentity Interiör) and the Netherlands (BigBrands). Technology integrations include 3D product data delivery via pCon and a digital workplace management partnership with MCS Solutions (Nemetschek Group).

The firm employs 350+ people and is owned by Dutch private equity firm Mentha Capital B.V., which acquired the company in January 2024 to fund international expansion. Since 2015, more than 100,000 pieces of used furniture have been donated through the Donationsnetværk program, and the company holds SBTi-validated climate targets, EcoVadis Silver (top 15% globally, top 2% in furniture production for environment), and inclusion on the CDP Supplier Engagement A-List.
