Skagerak by Fritz Hansen, formerly known as Trip Trap

Many people probably know the Danish company Trip Trap. Founded in 1976, the company has produced a variety of wooden furniture and home accessories. Trip Trap is well-known in Denmark, but when they started selling their products abroad in 2000, a problem arose: Trip Trap shares its name with a well-known Norwegian piece of furniture.

If you know the Danish company Trip Trap, chances are you also know the classic high chair called Tripp Trapp, designed by Peter Opsvik - and so the Danish company had to change its name. They were simply afraid that foreign customers would get confused.

That's why they chose the name Skagerak. Skagerak is the intersection of Denmark and Norway, and the name represents the Danish and Nordic origins. This meant that Skagerak products were called Skagerak abroad and Trip Trap in Denmark.

In 2016, Trip Trap got a new CEO, and they wanted to streamline the entire business - so they renamed Trip Trap to Skagerak in Denmark as well. The company grows steadily until 2021, culminating in Fritz Hansen buying the company - which has since been known as Skagerak by Fritz Hansen.
