In 1989, Henrik and Charlotte Jorst came to the United States from their native Denmark to follow a dream: that of owning and running their own business, to introduce the Danish lifestyle and philosophy into the lives of many. Skagen Designs was founded by these two natives of Copenhagen on the principle that beautifully designed high-quality objects can be created at reasonable prices.

The Skagen Denmark Collections reflect owners Charlotte and Henrik Jorst's creative Danish spirit with clean, elegant designs, skillful craftsmanship and technical perfection. The Jorsts have a hand in designing each piece of the Skagen Collection, from watches to jewelry to sunglasses.

 International Business

Skagen Designs has offices in the US, Denmark and Hong Kong. Skagen is expanding exponentially in Europe and even more so throughout the Asia Pacific region. In addition to seeing its first flagship stores open in Skagen, Denmark and Tokyo, Japan, the Skagen Denmark product proves to be a top-seller in many markets from Singapore, Malaysia and Australia, and more store openings are planned in the next few years.
