Rethink Urban Space

We become happier and healthier when we spend time outdoors – and life between buildings gives us exactly that opportunity. It should be experienced and enjoyed – together or individually.

Outdoor spaces serve as pause zones, meeting points, and experience areas that inspire stay, community, and activity – regardless of age, interests, or background.

out-sider is for those who want to create inspiring urban spaces. We develop urban furniture that enriches, excites, and leaves a positive imprint on the cityscape.

“We’re proud of our products – but even more proud of the difference they make. When we see our solutions being used, we know we’ve done something right.”

– Ib Mogensen, CEO and founder of out-sider

After 18 years of existence, the team now consists of six dedicated employees. We have goals to grow, but not necessarily to become a large organization - we want to remain the core of the business and outsource services externally. Our aim is to stay as a small, flexible, and agile company

Founded in 2007, out-sider entered a new chapter on 1 July 2026, when KOMPAN became the majority shareholder with a 51% ownership stake. Founder Ib Mogensen (Mogensen A/S) and Johnny Mikkelsen (Palermo Nordic Holding ApS) remain shareholders. The new ownership structure combines out-sider’s strong design heritage with the strength and international reach of KOMPAN.
