Since 1948
Classic furniture brought back to life
The former company “Møbelintarsia” has been re-established under the name Intarsia Furniture. Møbelintarsia was founded in 1948 by carpenter and furniture designer, Jørgen Aakjær Jørgensen and his wife Lis Aakjær Jørgensen. Together they dedicated their lives to Møbelintarsia, which became a fast-growing family business.
What the couple did not know at the time, was that their granddaughter, Nanna Aakjær Svendsen, almost 75 years later would recreate Møbelintarsia, with the vision of continuing the carpentry legacy from the golden age of danish furniture – combined with today’s trends and traditions.

The designer, Jørgen Aakjær Jørgensen
Founder of Møbelintarsia in 1948
Jørgen Aakjær Jørgensen (1920 – 2008) was a carpenter and furniture designer of the old school. With his journeyman’s certificate from the Danish Technological Institute and a bronze medal for his craftsmanship, he quickly gained recognition. His journey took him to Sweden, where he worked to enhance his skills and learn new techniques in furniture design. This experience helped shape his approach to craftsmanship and design.
Furniture in focus
As a classic craftsman, Jørgen designed directly from head to hands, which meant that each piece of furniture was created with an intuitive understanding of form and function. He was deeply engaged in the execution of the furniture, where the quality of craftsmanship was paramount. Jørgen Aakjær Jørgensen’s design DNA is evident in the many small details and the intarsia technique he used, harmoniously combined with the Danish design tradition, where simplicity and functionality prevail.
His legacy lives on through Intarsia Furniture, where we continue his vision of timeless and well-crafted furniture that carries a story and craftsmanship of which we are proud to represent.
