Most of the brands Comosum carries are European. Here is which European furniture brands you can buy in the US, where each one makes its pieces, and what tariffs, shipping and warranties look like once a piece crosses the Atlantic.

Which Danish and Scandinavian furniture brands can you buy in the US?
Denmark is home to more of the brands we carry than any other country: FDB Møbler, everyday Danish furniture since 1942, including Børge Mogensen’s designs; Mater, a Copenhagen design house working in FSC-certified wood and waste-based Matek; UMAGE, Copenhagen lighting and furniture, most of it shipped flat-packed; Cane-line, outdoor furniture since 1987; WOUD; Aakjaer, a 1948 cabinetmaker’s workshop revived by his granddaughter; and Bent Hansen, an Aalborg upholsterer since 1948. From Norway, Varier makes active-sitting chairs on designs dating back to 1979. The tables above show where each makes its pieces.
For the table, Kähler (since 1839), Holmegaard (since 1825), Lyngby Porcelæn, Rosendahl and Arne Jacobsen Clocks belong to Rosendahl Design Group, a Certified B Corp. Knabstrup reissues Danish ceramics first made in 1897, now in Portugal, and Norway’s Heymat makes doormats with recycled PET in Belgium and Poland.

Is European furniture actually made in Europe?
Often it isn’t, and that alone is no red flag. “Designed in Denmark” tells you where the drawings were made; “made in” tells you where the piece was built, under whose labor and environmental rules, and how far it traveled. So when a listing promises European materials and craftsmanship, ask what that means for the exact piece. One brand can do both: Ethnicraft makes the oak Casale chair in Serbia, and most of its range in Indonesia. Check four things:
- Made in: the country of make for that exact piece.
- A named certificate: an FSC license code, the Nordic Swan Ecolabel, a verified EPD or B Corp status.
- A test standard: EN 581 for outdoor furniture, EN 16139 or ANSI/BIFMA for seating.
- Warranty and parts: how long, whether you must register, and whether parts reach the US.

Is European furniture better made than American furniture?
Not because of where it comes from. What sets a well-made chair apart, on either side of the Atlantic, is evidence you can check: Ethnicraft’s Casale chair is lab-tested to ANSI/BIFMA X5.4-2020, Fermob tests its outdoor pieces to EN 581, and FDB Møbler tests its furniture at the Danish Technological Institute.
What about sustainable furniture made in the USA?
Some of what we carry is. Heller molds most of its furniture in the USA, including Frank Gehry’s Gehry Sofa and Mario Bellini’s MB2 Sofa, and Humanscale builds its office chairs in its own plants in the US and Mexico. Our sustainable furniture brands guide compares makers by category.
Do tariffs make European furniture more expensive in the US?
Sometimes. Under the EU–US trade framework, US tariffs on most goods made in the EU are capped at 15%, all-inclusive. Steel and aluminum products sit outside that cap, with duties of up to 50%. US customs looks at the country of make: a Danish-designed chair built in Indonesia is assessed as Indonesian, and UK-made furniture isn’t covered by the EU deal. Our European furniture tariffs explainer has the sources.
A tariff is paid by the importer when goods clear US customs; it is not added at our checkout. Whether it reaches a price depends on when the stock landed and how each brand sets its US prices; every product page shows the current price.
How does European furniture ship to the US, and who handles warranty and parts?
Every card here says whether a piece is in stock in the US or available to order from the maker. Our shipping page puts most in-stock items at 2–5 business days and pieces on order at 4–8 weeks. Many pieces can also be ordered from the maker in other colors or fabrics.
- Returns: 30 days, sale pieces included, except final sale and special or custom orders. You cover return shipping.
- Warranty: the maker’s warranty applies, and claims go through us. The longest terms need registration: Anglepoise guarantees lamps bought since 2020 for life; UMAGE gives 10 years, and Varier 10 on the frame.
- Spare parts: Anglepoise, Fermob, UMAGE, Tala, Cane-line and Tikamoon sell parts in the US. For Varier, WOUD, Mater, Resol and Ethnicraft, whose parts are sold in Europe, we order them for you, inside or outside the warranty.

Behind the chair · FDB Møbler · Est. 1942 · Danish design since Børge Mogensen
Danish furniture for ordinary homes, since 1942
FDB Møbler began in 1942, when Børge Mogensen set out to make furniture that was both beautiful and affordable. It still makes his designs alongside Poul M. Volther’s J46 and new ones, tests its furniture at the Danish Technological Institute and holds FSC chain-of-custody certification (FSC-C164841). About two in three pieces are made in the EU; the J46 in Jet Black is made in Latvia. In the US, FDB is distributed by Rosendahl Design Group.
- Tested at the Danish Technological Institute
- FSC chain-of-custody certified (FSC-C164841)

European furniture brands: common questions
Which European furniture brands can you buy in the US?
Through Comosum: Fermob, Petite Friture, Tiptoe and Tikamoon from France; Ethnicraft from Belgium; FDB Møbler, Mater, Cane-line, UMAGE, WOUD, Aakjaer and Bent Hansen from Denmark; Varier from Norway; Anglepoise, Tala and Case from the UK; Isimar, Resol and Lladró from Spain; and Luceplan from Italy. Fermob, Mater, Tiptoe, Isimar and Resol make mostly in Europe; Cane-line, UMAGE, Anglepoise and Tala make mostly in Asia.
What are the best Danish and Scandinavian furniture brands available in the US?
It depends on what matters to you. Of the Danish brands we carry, FDB Møbler and Mater make most of their furniture in Europe, Aakjaer makes in Denmark and Europe, and Bent Hansen in Denmark, while Cane-line, UMAGE and WOUD design in Denmark and make mostly in Asia. Varier, from Norway, makes its chairs in Poland. For tableware, Kähler, Holmegaard and Lyngby Porcelæn belong to Rosendahl Design Group, a Certified B Corp.
Is furniture designed in Europe always made in Europe?
No. Fermob makes its furniture in its own French factories and Mater mostly in Latvia, Slovenia and Denmark, but Cane-line makes in its own Indonesian facilities and Anglepoise makes most of its lamps in China. Check the country of make for the exact piece, because one brand can make different pieces in different countries.
Is European furniture better quality than American furniture?
Not by origin alone. Look for evidence on the piece itself: a named test standard such as EN 581 or ANSI/BIFMA, a warranty with clear terms, and spare parts. Ethnicraft’s Casale chair, for example, is lab-tested to ANSI/BIFMA X5.4-2020, and FDB Møbler tests its furniture at the Danish Technological Institute.
Do tariffs make European furniture more expensive in the US?
Sometimes. Under the EU–US trade framework, US tariffs on most goods made in the EU are capped at 15%, all-inclusive, while steel and aluminum products sit outside that cap. Duty follows where a piece is made, not where the brand is based. The importer pays it at US customs; it is not added at Comosum’s checkout.
How long does European furniture take to ship to the US?
From Comosum, most in-stock items ship within 2–5 business days from the US, and pieces ordered from the maker typically take 4–8 weeks. Current shipping terms are on our shipping page.
Is there sustainable furniture made in the USA?
Some. Of the brands we carry, Heller molds most of its furniture in the USA, including Frank Gehry’s Gehry Sofa and Mario Bellini’s MB2 Sofa, and Humanscale builds its office chairs in its own plants in the US and Mexico. Every product page shows the brand’s Sustainability Meter grade, so you can compare them with the European makers.
Are EU furniture rules stricter than US rules?
They cover different things. Since 6 August 2026, the EU has limited formaldehyde emissions from furniture sold in the EU to 0.062 mg/m³ under Regulation (EU) 2023/1464. The US limits formaldehyde from the plywood, MDF and particleboard inside furniture under TSCA Title VI. Neither rule follows a piece across the Atlantic, so look for evidence that does, such as a certificate or test report for the product itself.
Do European furniture brands offer warranties and spare parts in the US?
Many do. Anglepoise, Fermob, UMAGE, Tala, Cane-line and Tikamoon sell parts in the US. For Varier, WOUD, Mater, Resol, Ethnicraft and other brands whose parts are sold only in Europe, Comosum orders them from the maker for you, inside or outside the warranty. Warranty claims for anything bought from Comosum go through us.
