SIKA DESIGN
A PROUD TRADITION OF CRAFTMANSHIP
Our passion for rattan and know-how dates a long
way back – we have been around long enough to
call ourselves Scandinavia’s oldest producer of
rattan and wicker furniture.
The story of our company begins in 1942 when
Ankjær Andreasen produced the first batch of
baskets, lamps, flower tables and other smaller
interior items made of rush and willow. In the 1950s
he expanded his production to include a series of
furniture made from rattan, and the company Sika-
Design was firmly established.
The rattan was imported from the Far East and
Ankjær travelled there to buy rattan for his wicker
makers in Denmark. During a trip in 1972, he was
so impressed by the skilled wicker makers that
he decided to establish a wicker furniture factory
in Malaysia. Since then, the Far East has been
essential to our production of furniture, and today
we manufacture our furniture in our own factory in
Indonesia.
Ankjær’s son Knud Andreasen took over the
company in 1983, however Ankjær still continued
his daily “inspection” rounds in the company until
his death in 1997.
”On my 10th birthday, my father allowed me to
attend a fair where Sika-Design was exhibiting
a series of rattan furniture. On that day, I knew I
wanted to be a part of his company, and my passion
for rattan furniture was started. Since 1996 my
father and I have worked side-by-side bringing
Sika-Design into the new century with great design,
while never letting go of our strong heritage of great
craftsmanship.”
Sika-Design respects human rights and complies
with the SA8000 standard for social accountability,
and we demand the same commitment from our
suppliers. Products from Sika-Design are developed
and marketed in accordance with our management
system for environmental and social responsibility
