About Us

Welcome to Danish by Design,

We are a family-run business based in Melbourne and we import and distribute a great range of stylish, modern nursery furniture, infant products, and toys.

We aim to offer Australian parents well-designed products that not only look good but are super practical for both parent and child; products that have versatility and longevity and are of great value.

How did it all start? Like many new mums, Gillian considered starting up a small home business to combine work and motherhood. While we were back in Denmark for our daughter’s first Christmas, we fell in love with the amazing range of products there and decided that we would like to make them available to Australian parents too.

Despite having no knowledge of the retail industry or importing, Gillian started with the help of her husband, Nigel, and ordered the first shipment from Denmark in 2001. Fast forward and today Danish by Design is the proud distributor of many brands and has some serious celebrity clientele, including Nicole Kidman, Rebecca Judd, Mel B, and Megan Gale!

Our team thrives on the challenge of trying to find more unique products to add to our range, preferably from Scandinavia. Each product we take on board has to match our design, function, and quality standards. Parents appreciate good design and high quality and we know that our cots and other products are excellent choices. We also strive to be the best we can be regarding customer service and trust that your dealings with us will be a pleasure.

Cheers,
