Konges Sløjd A/S

Konges Sløjd - from basement to global

In 2014 Emilie Konge faced a challenge. She had just become a first-time mom and was on the lookout for safe baby equipment and clothing in neutral colors and playful prints that would fit into the home of the modern Scandinavian mother. Her quest ended without success, and so she set out to create her own universe.

Her first creation was the cloud mobile, which she made by hand in a small basement in Copenhagen. Emilie started sharing photos of her concept on Instagram and quickly the demand and interest grew. Her design philosophy was and still is to create stylish children's interior and clothing that bring joy to little ones and give aesthetic pleasure to their parents.

Konges Sløjd has now grown to 49 employees and is a 4-time Gazelle award-winning Danish design brand.

From the headquarters in the heart of Copenhagen everything is designed in-house: we invent prints, select materials, design new shapes and functions, test with a strong focus on details with the intention to enchant our customers life, season after season. In addition, we rely on a close, trusting relationship with our suppliers abroad to ensure that all products are made under good working conditions.

Konges Sløjd is a diverse and inclusive workplace that aims to represent as many different backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences as possible.

Konges sløjd - a somewhat unsusual name. 'Konge' is the last name of our founder Emilie. And the old Danish word 'sløjd' means 'good and solid craftmanship'.
