About us

JYSK is an international home furnishing retailer with Scandinavian roots that makes it easy to furnish every room in any home and garden. JYSK delivers a great Scandinavian offer for everyone within sleeping and living. We are a global retail chain of stores and web shops, and part of the family-owned Lars Larsen Group. Our founder, Lars Larsen, opened his first JYSK store in Aarhus, Denmark, in 1979. Today, JYSK has more than 3,500 stores in 50 countries around the world. 29 countries are operated directly by JYSK, while the remaining 21 countries are part of JYSK Franchise. With thousands of stores across the world, there is often a JYSK nearby. This makes it quick to explore our assortment, and easy to bring products home. Online, we have room for even more products, and it is crucial for us to make it easy for customers to combine our great store service with our wide online assortment to give the best possible shopping experience. This requires great employees, and our ambition is to be employees’ first choice within retail wherever JYSK is present. This means that JYSK must always be an attractive place to work, and that our employees enjoy the time they spend with us. Although JYSK today is a global business, the company is managed based on its Scandinavian roots. This is reflected in our company culture and the way we do business.

    Everyone deserves someone who believes in them 💙 Inclusion isn’t just a project, it is part of how Store Manager Shengyl Kaplanoska from JYSK Holbæk in Denmark leads 💪 💬 “Half of my employees are either dyslexic or have ADHD. But that doesn’t make them worth any less than the rest of us. If no one believes in you, you can’t move forward. Everyone deserves someone who sees their potential,” says Shengyl. Through a long-term collaboration with Holbæk Kommune (Holbæk Municipality), Shengyl has for years welcomed both young people and adults in job training, activation programmes, and flexible positions. Many arrive unsure of themselves, but often leave with renewed confidence, a clear direction, and in some cases, a job at JYSK. 👉 Recently, Shengyl took on even greater responsibility for the youth in her local community by joining a national initiative aimed at giving young people aged 15 to 29, who are not in education or employment, better opportunities to enter the job market. 💬 “I didn’t say yes to this initiative because I felt I had to do it now. It’s something I’ve always done, so for me, it came very naturally. And if we don’t give people the chance to develop or to get a good start in life, then we’ve already lost them.” 🥇 Shengyl's involvement in the local youth has made her a local celebrity where many customers have praised her efforts and some even brought her flowers. #BringDedication

    🤔 What exactly is Scandinavian “hygge”? While hygge is deeply woven into Scandinavian culture, it is a concept that can be tricky to translate 👇 So, let’s break it down: Hygge is a feeling 😊 It is a cosy, warm atmosphere that is relaxed and informal. It can be an activity or be used as an adjective to describe a certain mood or situation. Often, hygge involves soft blankets, flickering candles, and cosy settings - like our JOHNSSON LED candles or the fluffy STORFRYTLE blanket🕯️ But more than anything, hygge is about togetherness. It most often occurs in the company of friends and family 💙 That is why we offer a wide range of indoor furniture, homeware, and textiles designed to bring a touch of hygge into every home. What is hygge to you? And how do you create hygge in your home? #AW25 #JYSK #Assortment

    World-class dedication 💙 👉 Para-dressage rider Katrine Bjelke Kristensen is the next recipient of JYSK’s Bring Dedication grant of DKK 50,000. 💬 “Katrine shows an impressive level of dedication and determination in everything she does. She manages to balance elite sport, family life and studies in a way that inspires both within and beyond parasport. This is exactly the kind of commitment we wish to recognise through the Bring Dedication grant,” says Søren Brunsborg, Commercial Sales Coordinator at JYSK and grandson of JYSK founder Lars Larsen. The JYSK Bring Dedication grant is awarded to para-athletes who show exceptional dedication. As a main sponsor for Parasport Danmark, JYSK awards a total of DKK 200,000 to dedicated para-athletes in Denmark on a yearly basis. 💬 “Riding gives me a sense of freedom, and I often say that my horse is my physiotherapist on four legs. The sport makes a positive difference for me - both physically, in relation to my muscular atrophy, and mentally. But it’s no secret that riding also requires a lot, both financially and practically. That’s why the support from JYSK means the world to me.” Congratulations to Katrine and her horse Goerklintgaards Quater, who last year proudly brought home a silver medal for Denmark at the Paralympic Games in Paris. #BringDedication

    Did you know that curtains can help reduce noise in your bedroom? 👇 Yes, you heard that correctly💡 The way you style your bedroom can influence how well you sleep 💤 Heavy curtains, in particular, can have a sound-reducing effect, as the thick fabric helps absorb noise from outside. 👉 For instance, our new AUSTRA velvet curtain adds both elegance and a more peaceful atmosphere to your bedroom. Our autumn and winter assortment offers inspiration for transforming your bedroom into a calming retreat. Featuring warm duvets and soft pillows for a cosy night’s rest, curtains that block out light and sound, and bedlinen in soothing earthy tones to create a peaceful atmosphere 🌜
