What Højer Møbler does

Højer Møbler A/S is a privately held Danish designer and manufacturer of educational furniture, founded in 1992 and headquartered in Vodskov, Northern Jutland. The company designs, produces, and delivers furniture and interior solutions for schools, boarding schools (efterskoler), gymnasiums, vocational institutions, and daycare facilities across Denmark, with selective international sales to Germany through an exclusive distribution partner. Its product portfolio spans seating (Orion, Nova, Surf series), tables, lounge furniture, reading caves, storage, acoustic screens, boards and lighting, waste-sorting systems, outdoor furniture, and large-scale custom mega-furniture installations. Differentiated proprietary concepts include Zap Concept (mobile, modular workstations that convert passive spaces into active learning zones), the ReDo series (refurbished and redesigned furniture supporting a circular-economy value proposition), and research-backed interior concepts NyNaturfag (science classrooms, with Katafonden) and Nest Koncept (early-childhood learning spaces).

The business operates a sales-led, direct go-to-market with district managers and a dedicated export team, supplemented by consultation and interior-design services for learning-environment planning. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time hardware sales (chairs, tables, lounge, mega furniture), with secondary streams from consulting/design advisory and custom/special solutions built to architectural specification. The company quotes prices in DKK excluding VAT, applies a small fixed handling fee and a 2.5% environmental contribution, and backs all products with a 20-year warranty — claimed to be Europe's longest for school furniture. Højer Møbler is owner-operated by founder Jens Højer, with Managing Director Michael Glibstrup and a small management team; it discloses no institutional investors, funding rounds, or revenue figures.

Its product range covers chairs, stools and tables, lounge and soft seating, reading caves, storage and wardrobe, acoustic and screen wall solutions, boards and lighting, custom mega-furniture, outdoor furniture, and subject-specific classroom installations.

Product overview

Højer Møbler is a Danish furniture company with 32+ years of experience developing, producing, and delivering learning environments for the educational sector. The product portfolio is organized as a broad platform of interconnected furniture categories and specialized solutions, anchored by seating (chairs, stools, barstools), tables (student tables, high tables, café tables, meeting tables, canteen tables, standing desks), and lounge/soft seating. Supporting categories include reading caves, storage and wardrobe, screen walls and acoustic solutions, boards and lighting, mega furniture, outdoor furniture, waste sorting systems, and accessories. Two proprietary interior design concepts — NyNaturfag (research-based science learning environments) and Nest Koncept (activating learning spaces for early childhood) — guide specialized classroom solutions including Håndværk & Design, Madkundskab, Makerspace, and Sløjd/Værksted, each with their own dedicated product sets (Rustik-A workspace, Kreavogn, Værkstedsvogn, Klippebord, Mood Board bench). The standout product line is Zap Concept — a modular, mobile workstation system including Zap Boards, Zap Wall Rail, Zap Totem, and Zap Totem Outdoor — enabling flexible transformation of passive spaces into active learning zones. The ReDo sub-series offers redesigned variants of core products (Surf ReDo, Orion ReDo) for visual coherence. Custom solutions (Specialløsninger) are available for projects requiring bespoke mega furniture or modifications to standard products. The company operates a 20-year warranty on all products and emphasizes circular economy, modular design, and sustainable materials across its entire range.
