About us

We’re HELLES & dePLACE, a Copenhagen-based workshop founded by two passionate cabinetmakers. After many years of collaboration, we decided in 2023 to merge the expertise of dePlace Furniture, established in 2001, into a new unified company consisting of partners Jonas Helles and Lars de Place Bjørn, along with team member Corrin James Campbell-Johnston. Together, we craft bespoke kitchens, interiors and furniture.

With a strong foundation in our unique understanding of what wood can be shaped into, we have, for over two decades, been a workshop driven by curiosity, striving to create beautiful furnishings for your home, business, or workplace.

Every piece is handmade in our workshop, centrally located in Copenhagen's Meatpacking District. This post-industrial neighborhood continues to thrive as a meeting point for meat wholesalers, artists, restaurants, and culture. It is here, in this historic melting pot of energy, that we design and produce furniture and interiors for clients at home and abroad.

Combining traditional craftsmanship with the latest technology, we ensure that every project is timeless, precise, and competitive.

All three of us have received the prestigious cabinetmaker’s medal as recognition of our skills and dedication to quality and craftsmanship.

We love what we do, and we’re proud to bring your vision to life, one handmade piece at a time.

Why Choose Us?

Genuine Bespoke Design

We don’t start with templates. Every project begins with a blank slate, an open mind, and your vision. From modern minimalism to timeless tradition, we create styles that suit you—crafted by hand in Copenhagen.

Collaboration & Communication

We work closely with you, turning trust into beautiful, functional designs. Bespoke isn’t just custom—it’s deeply personal. Together, we’ll bring your ideas to life with care and precision.

Our philosophy

  • At HELLES & dePLACE, bespoke isn’t just a buzzword—it’s our foundation. Every project begins with a blank sheet of paper, an open mind, and a shared vision with our clients. We believe in designing without limits, creating pieces that are truly one-of-a-kind. Bespoke is personal, collaborative, and about crafting something that has never existed before.

  • We embrace a wide variety of styles—sleek and modern, timeless and traditional, organic and natural, or purely practical. We value open communication and trust, working closely with clients to translate their ideas into detailed designs. Each sketch reflects the unique needs and character of the client.

  • Every piece is custom-made in our Copenhagen workshop, combining care, precision, and craftsmanship. From initial sketches to beautifully crafted reality, the process is as rewarding as the final piece. That’s the HELLES & dePLACE way, and it’s what sets us apart.
