Our story
Ever since the company was founded in Odense in 1978 we at Scan have focused on offering our customers the best wood-burning stoves on the market, paying particular attention to design, innovation, and user-friendliness.
Danish heating ideas
For us it is not just about warmth, but about delivering a perfect flame, enclosed in a design-conscious piece of furniture to suit the majority of homes. The combination of Danish design, brave ideas, and an eye for detail has turned Scan into a leading brand in wood-burning stoves.
Danish design
Denmark has a rich design tradition, which Scan is part of. We exclusively use Danish designers to create our stoves, thus ensuring totality and the right expression. Consequently, you can always recognise Scan by the clean lines, which are typical of good Danish design. We also have a tradition of setting new standards, and our designers approach every challenge with the aim of creating something new. This has meant that Scan has constantly gained international recognition, and we have won several design awards for our workmanship.
Innovation and new thinking
For Scan heating is more than just a practical or aesthetic matter. We see our stoves as innovative pieces of furniture that suit a modern lifestyle. Through creativity, an eye for detail, and the courage to try out new ideas we have pushed ahead and shown the way both in terms of user-friendliness and the environment. Scan was the first to introduce sliding doors, glass with a 90 degree angle, and glass handles for inserts.
It's all about the details
At Scan we are focused on the details and put our soul into even the smallest things. With our critical eye and constant search for perfection, we have created revolutionary forms and technical solutions for the benefit of our customers. By integrating the handles in the design and ensuring easy operation, we have combined form and function. This is one of many examples of what we call a "smooth finish".
Your new flame
Enjoying the warmth from a perfect flame behind the stove's glass is the ultimate form of relaxation and enjoyment. Our design process always focuses on creating extremely beautiful images of the flame and the best view.
