Welcome to KUNSTEN
Family, Handmade, and the KUNSTEN of Wooden Soles
At KUNSTEN, we believe luxury is found in the finest details—meticulous craftsmanship, unparalleled materials, and a deep respect for nature. Founded in 2014 by husband-and-wife team Magnus and Antonia, we set out to create exceptional footwear that blends timeless elegance with eco-conscious innovation. Every pair is handmade with precision in Denmark and Sweden, using only non-toxic, eco-friendly materials and rare deadstock fabrics from legendary mills, ensuring exclusivity and sustainability in every step.
Our Austrian-made aspen wood soles are the pinnacle of refinement—astonishingly lightweight, incredibly strong, and uniquely bendable. This is not just wood; it is the most luxurious, knot-free, sustainably sourced wood on earth, carefully selected for its resilience and natural shock absorption. Designed to last a lifetime, no one has ever worn through a pair—because it’s simply not possible.
With our exclusive techniques, we have redefined clog-making, allowing us to craft with the most prestigious materials—sumptuous wool, decadent cashmere, premium denim, and more—transforming traditional footwear into a masterpiece of comfort and sophistication. Our signature bendable wooden sole is a revolution, offering a seamless fusion of elegance and functionality.
We breathe new life into premium materials sourced from the most esteemed mills in the US, Europe, and Japan, reducing industry waste while crafting footwear designed to stand the test of time. Our glue? Nordic eco-labeled and trusted in Ferrari Formula 1 cars—because when it comes to quality, only the best will do. And for every Austrian aspen tree we use, we plant two in its place, ensuring a sustainable legacy.
At KUNSTEN, every detail matters. No waste, no mass production—just precision, passion, and a commitment to true luxury. Step into Danish craftsmanship at its finest and experience the difference.
