ONCE UPON A TIME...
There was a brand of the family-owned company
M. Schack Engel A/S Children’s furniture brand called LIFETIME
Kidsrooms.
LIFETIME Kidsrooms is there since 1972, the company M. Schack Engel
A/S, however, can look back on decades of experience in the furniture
business. The history of furniture manufacturing in Denmark Højer goes
back to 1924 when Lars Hans Engel, the grandfather of the current
company owner, opened a timber repair workshop. His son, Martin
Schack Engel took over the company in 1958, expanded the portfolio
and established the workshop in the following years to a small furniture
manufacturing.
The special feature: All the furniture was made of solid wood and kept to
together with wooden wedges ONLY.
Due to strong demand, the company focused on children and youth
furniture and invested in staff and equipment for furniture production.
This was the same time as the starting point of a successful bed system,
which in 1974 started as “Classic System”, the direct predecessor of
today’s LIFETIME Kidsrooms “Original”. A development that has been
driven by the third generation of the Engel family strongly ahead. Lars
and John Engel rose in 1982 in the company, and eight years later a sales
company in the M. Schack Engel A/S.
Finally, they took over in 1992 both companies and merged them in 2008
to M. Schack Engel A/S. Today John Engel is supported on the board
and in the daily activities by co-owner Keld Nielsen. To date, all LIFETIME
Kidsrooms Original furniture is manufactured in our own family - using
expert cabinetmakers and woodworkers and an ultra-modern machine
park. The theme worlds are created in collaboration with numerous
designers, implemented with the latest trends to bring children dreams to
life.
