 HOUE: Modern Outdoor Furniture with a Scandinavian Touch

HOUE is a Danish design house known for its thoughtful approach to creating modern outdoor furniture that is both functional and aesthetically pleasing. With a focus on high-quality materials and timeless Scandinavian design, HOUE has gained a reputation for crafting stylish, durable, and environmentally conscious outdoor pieces. Every design detail, joint, and component is carefully chosen or developed in-house to ensure that each product offers "affordable luxury" — a perfect blend of quality, sustainability, and design.

HOUE’s collection features a range of outdoor furniture made from premium materials, including powder-coated metal, aluminum, bamboo, and even recycled household plastic. These materials not only provide durability but also contribute to the sleek, minimalist look that is characteristic of Scandinavian design. Whether it’s dining chairs, tables, or lounge pieces, HOUE’s furniture allows for endless combinations, making it easy to curate an outdoor space that reflects personal style.

Sustainable Innovation: MyTRASH

HOUE’s commitment to sustainability is exemplified through their MyTRASH initiative, which reimagines everyday household plastic waste as a resource for high-quality furniture. Through designs like Henrik Pedersen's ReCLIPS and Hans Thyge & Co’s NAMI series, HOUE uses recycled plastics, most of which are sourced from Danish households, to create stunning and functional outdoor furniture pieces.

The MyTRASH initiative showcases HOUE's dedication to environmental responsibility without compromising on style or comfort. The recycled plastic components are produced in Denmark at well-established factories, ensuring high standards of craftsmanship and sustainability. The ReCLIPS series, for instance, was awarded the IFDA Selects Award for Sustainability in 2022, a testament to HOUE’s innovative approach to eco-friendly design.

HOUE’s commitment to recycling and sustainability is not only a testament to the brand’s eco-conscious values but also an example of how great design can address environmental challenges, turning waste into treasure.

Designer Collaborations

HOUE’s designs are a result of collaborations with several distinguished designers, all of whom bring their unique perspectives to the brand. These partnerships have produced a diverse range of outdoor and indoor furniture that blends form and function.

• Henrik Pedersen: Known for his neo-Scandinavian approach to design, Pedersen has created many popular pieces for HOUE, including the CLICK Outdoor Chairs, ReCLIPS Chairs, EYELET Tray Tables, and the LEVELLounge series. Pedersen’s designs are characterized by clean lines, functional forms, and innovative uses of materials, often with a playful twist.

• Roee Magdassi: A designer who emphasizes practicality and simplicity, Magdassi is the mind behind the EDGETray Tables. His designs aim to simplify everyday objects while adding a unique, expressive touch to them. The EDGE Tray Tables are an excellent example of this, offering versatility and elegance in both indoor and outdoor settings.

• Hans Thyge & Co: This design studio, known for its expertise in creating functional and aesthetically pleasing furniture, worked with HOUE to develop the NAMI collection. Inspired by the flowing shapes of waves, the NAMIseries includes pieces made from 97% recycled Danish plastic, demonstrating HOUE’s commitment to sustainable design and eco-friendly materials.
