Ferm Living started with a wallpaper Trine Andersen could not find, so she made it herself. From those first prints in 2006 it grew into one of Copenhagen's most recognisable design houses: soft, organic shapes in warm Scandinavian colour, across seating, lighting and ceramics. The name comes from her grandmother's word for skilled hands. Every Ferm Living piece here is an original, authenticated and restored, then delivered in 1 to 5 days. Originals only.
Ferm Living, Danish Design From Copenhagen
Ferm Living began in 2005, when Trine Andersen, a graphic designer and art director by training, moved house and could not find a wallpaper she liked. She designed her own, made ten patterns, and showed them at the Formland fair in Herning in 2006. The name comes from her grandmother's saying, "ferm på fingrene", Danish praise for someone skilled with their hands.
From wallpaper it grew, first stickers, then cushions, and eventually a full interiors brand designed in house in Copenhagen. Today Ferm Living spans soft-edged sofas like the Rico, sculptural lighting, shelving, ceramics and textiles, all in the warm, organic, colour-led take on Scandinavian design the brand is known for. It is contemporary design with a clear hand behind it, made to feel lived-in rather than showroom-perfect.
New, Ferm Living sits in the mid-to-premium range, with sofas and larger pieces running into four figures and made-to-order waits on much of the line. Every original at REHAUS is authenticated, restored where needed, and delivered in 1 to 5 days, usually below the new price. Design doesn't depreciate. The Forever Guarantee and a 30-day home trial mean reduced risk on a piece made to last. Browse the originals.
Ferm Living: frequently asked questions
What is Ferm Living?
Ferm Living is a Danish design brand based in Copenhagen, founded in 2006 by Trine Andersen. It began with wallpaper and grew into a full interiors brand, designing soft, organic, colour-led furniture, lighting, ceramics and textiles in the Scandinavian tradition. Everything is designed in house, with a warm, lived-in character that has made it one of Denmark's best-known contemporary design names.
Where does the name Ferm Living come from?
The name comes from a Danish saying of founder Trine Andersen's grandmother, “ferm på fingrene”, which praises someone who is skilled with their hands. It suits a brand that began with one person designing her own wallpaper and grew into a full design house, with craft and a personal hand at the centre of it.
Where can I buy pre-owned Ferm Living in the UK?

Is pre-owned Ferm Living worth buying?
Yes. Ferm Living is made to a high standard in quality materials, so a well-kept piece lasts and restores well. Buying pre-owned also skips the made-to-order wait on much of the range.

How much is Ferm Living, new versus pre-owned?
New, Ferm Living sits in the mid-to-premium range, with sofas and larger pieces running into four figures and lead times on much of the line. A pre-owned original at REHAUS, authenticated and restored, usually costs below the new price and arrives in 1 to 5 days. The difference reflects buying the original second time around, not a discount on a copy.
What is Ferm Living known for?
Ferm Living is known for soft, organic, colour-led Scandinavian design across furniture, lighting, ceramics and textiles. It started in wallpaper and kept that graphic, pattern-led sensibility as it grew. The look is contemporary and warm rather than stark, made to feel lived-in, which is part of why the pieces hold up well second time around.
How is Ferm Living delivered, and can I return it?
Each piece is delivered in 1 to 5 days, with white-glove delivery complimentary on qualifying orders. Every order comes with a 30-day home trial, so you can live with it before committing.
