Henry Schubell (1906 – 2001) was a Danish cabinetmaker and designer, famous for his pioneering work in modern Danish design. After finishing school, he began his career as a cabinetmaker's apprentice in Helsingør, where he was also honored with a medal for his craftsmanship.
Schubell was a significant figure in the middle of the 20th century and played a central role in the Danish design movement. He was particularly recognized for his contribution to furniture design and interiors and helped shape the distinctive Scandinavian style, which quickly gained international popularity. A pioneer of modernism, he created furniture that was simple, elegant and practical.
Schubell's designs, in association with other well-known Danish designers contributed significantly to establishing Denmark as a leading center for modern design. One of the most notable collaborations was with the renowned designer Arnold Madsen, who together with Schubell formed "Madsen & Schubell", with Schubell designing the majority of their models. Their work is still highly valued and collected by collectors and design enthusiasts worldwide.
In collaboration with Henry Schubell's family, Warm Nordic takes care of the design legacy of the skilled carpenter and continuously launches new, uncompromising designs under the name House of Henry Schubell.
