Bornhold was founded in 1917 and has been an owner-managed company ever since. The brothers Walther and Robert Bornhold opened the "Workshop for Home Art" in Neustadt and their own factory in Osterfeldstrasse. Until the 1970s, the family employed around 600 people in Hamburg-Lokstedt, who produced all of their furniture in-house in the in-house upholstery workshops, carpentry workshops and sewing shops. Building their own furniture, made to measure, has been the core of the Bornhold brand from the very beginning. In keeping with this tradition, the in-house brand "Bornhold - Manufaktur" was further developed in 2001, which designs and produces upholstered and cabinet furniture that contribute to the furniture store's unmistakable style: classic modernism.
