A great story

Welcome to Great Dane, Australia’s eminent purveyor, master, and collector of classic Scandinavian furniture. Established in Melbourne in 2003, our unbridled passion for timeless Danish design has seen us establish an inimitable reputation for quality, service, craftsmanship, and knowledge.

At Great Dane, we pride ourselves on this passion. It motivates us, it inspires us, and we thrive on sharing it with customers and collectors via our distinguished, hand-picked import ranges, and flawless, hand-crafted restorations.

Personally chosen and imported by our founder and Director, Anton Assaad, each piece of Great Dane is sourced direct from Scandinavia’s premier design houses, manufacturers, and vintage furniture specialists.

This unique ‘hands-on’ approach affords integrity, maintains authenticity, and ensures that our customers have access to the very finest classic, one-off, and vintage mid-century pieces available.

Comprising Australia’s most extensive range of original mid-century Scandinavian classics, the breadth and depth of our showroom collections in Melbourne, Sydney and Brisbane is only surpassed by their sheer quality and exclusivity.

From easy chairs and dining tables, to sideboards, coffee tables, and light fittings, our extensive range has been lovingly selected and proudly boasts prodigious originals from the iconic likes of designers’ Hans Wegner, Finn Juhl, Arne Jacobsen, Borge Mogensen, N.O Moller, and many more.

In addition to our selection of original pieces and authentic re-mastered classics, we also offer a specialised range of timeless vintage furniture that has been painstakingly restored by our very own Great Dane workshop …

The first of its kind in Australia, our expert restoration team take enormous pride in their work and employ centuries-old traditional Scandinavian techniques to maintain design integrity, restore aesthetic quality, and re-imbue the beauty of Danish perfection, without exception.

At Great Dane, we’re committed to ensuring that the precision and beauty of mid-century Scandinavian design is upheld at all times.

With the recent inclusion of classic Danish toys, glassware, linen and vases, our showrooms are more akin to designer emporiums, and our staff are enthusiasts, designers, and collectors.

We invite you to experience our passion first-hand, and encourage you to stroke, feel and smell the quality of our Scandinavian classics for contemporary life …
