The Oak Men

The Oak Men are Anders Buchtrup Jensen and Peter Hensberg. We are Danish cabinetmakers. We love wood and we love cool stuff. We design and manufacture products for use in life, for real and for fun. Every product handled by The Oak Men is based on cabinet making, with a focus on quality, simplicity, aesthetics but certainly also a good deal of humour. There are many fine home accessories out there, but most of it made for women. We only produce what we think is cool. We only do stuff which we, as men, as The Oak Men, can relate to. Stuff that men themselves will buy. Stuff that women can buy for their men, but surely also for themselves ... At our workshop in Brabrand close to Aarhus, all the prototypes come to life, we play with most materials (wood, metal, leather, linoleum ... ), and we work hard with parts of the production. Other parts of our production, we handle together with talented subcontractors in Denmark, Germany, Slovenia, Poland and China.

The Myth of The Oak Men“…The Oak Men are very protective of their host tree and, though they far prefer to live in the most ancient and

imposing Oaks, they will begrudgingly settle in pollards and coppices should their mature tree be lopped or chopped. The

Oak Men are reputedly very protective and nurturing towards the various other natural creatures that share their woodland

habitat.

They signify strength, ancient wisdom and depth. The Oak Men tell every being to look slowly and deeply into the heart of a matter and to see past the superficialities on the surface. They tell you to take action only after thorough deliberation, and that haste may be your greatest enemy. They tell you to learn from the trees, to consider the trees and their wisdom, to

connect with the wise old ones and ask for any assistance of which you might have need. You will love the brambly bark of

their bodies, crooked and contorted, knobbly and gnarled. They are known to have a warm glow in their eyes, trusting and full

of kindness, naughty and full of play. Such strength and fragility, all at once…”
