Danish Deluxe was an Australian furniture design and manufacturing company founded in Melbourne in 1958 by Neville Ashkanasy, John Westacott, and Borg Gjorstvang. The company was known for its high-end Danish-styled furniture, often influenced by Scandinavian design.

Ashkanasy and Westacott were both Danish immigrants who had come to Australia in the 1950s. They were inspired by the modern furniture designs they had seen in Denmark, and they wanted to create a similar style of furniture in Australia. Gjorstvang was an Australian furniture manufacturer who had experience in the industry.

The company's first factory was located in Huntingdale, Victoria. They started out by manufacturing furniture inder licence from Scandinavian designers, such as Hans Wegner and Niels Møller. They also commissioned leading local Australian designers, including George Kral and Max and Maggie May.

Danish Deluxe quickly became one of the leading manufacturers of mid-century modern furniture in Australia. more...
