Crafting Elegance For Generations

A Century of Craftsmanship: Hørning’s Story of Dedication and Legacy

At Hørning, craftsmanship is more than a tradition - it’s our identity. Since 1925, we have remained steadfast in our dedication to creating exceptional wooden floors, guided by the same values that shaped us from the beginning: a deep love for wood as a material and an unwavering commitment to quality.

A Legacy Shaped by Loyalty

Over the past 100 years, our commitment to true craftsmanship has inspired an extraordinary sense of loyalty. This is reflected in the remarkable fact that, in our history, only four foremen have overseen our production. Karl Skou led us in our early years, followed by Holger Rasmussen and Kristian Damgaard, and today Claus Hildebrand Hansen continues this proud legacy.

Their leadership has been pivotal in ensuring that every floor we produce carries the soul of our craftsmanship.

A family member of Jens Magnus Jensen shared with us J.M. Jensen’s personal journey - from a small workshop to the dream of running a parquet factory, along with his thoughts and visions about the machinery and the carefully chosen people from the wood industry who made it happen and shared his passion for wood.

We believe that Hørning’s true essence lies in the hands of those who craft its floors. It’s not just about making floors; it’s about creating something meaningful and enduring.

Cherishing Wood: Our Lifelong Passion

For us, wood is more than a material; it’s a source of inspiration. From the beginning, we’ve approached our craft with reverence. Even today, our floors are hand-carried through the production process, ensuring every plank receives the care and attention it deserves.

Our dedication to quality extends to the materials we choose. When Jens Magnus Jensen acquired bog oak for the City Hall of Aarhus, he wasn’t just buying wood - he was investing in a legacy. This same devotion to sourcing exceptional materials has guided our collaborations with renowned architects like Arne Jacobsen, resulting in timeless projects that stand as a testament to the power of partnership and shared vision.

Floors That Make History

Our floors have become an integral part of many architectural landmarks, from The City Hall of Aarhus to other iconic buildings. These projects showcase not only the quality of our craftsmanship but also the trust placed in us by leading architects and designers.

Honouring Craftsmanship, Inspiring Loyalty

Craftsmanship has always been the cornerstone of what we do, and it’s a commitment that resonates deeply with those we work with. Our clients return to us time and again, drawn by our dedication to creating floors that are as timeless as the spaces they inhabit.

As we reflect on 100 years of history, we are proud to say that our passion for wood, our respect for tradition, and our pursuit of excellence remain as strong as ever. For us, craftsmanship is not just a skill - it’s the heart of who we are and the foundation of every floor we create.
