Description
This Christmas, we’ve partnered with three authors we truly admire, each representing a different category: a gripping crime novel, an inspiring biography, and a Scandinavian design book.
Jonas-Bjerre Poulsen: Soft Minimalism
We are offering a very limited edition of these books, signed by the authors and accompanied by a personalised leather bookmark.
About the Book
Tommy Ahlers' biography 'Uperfekt' is a honest story about a remarkable (career) journey - a diverse but always driven and ambitious path made up by a lot of chance and doubt - all making it an truly inspirational biography.
About the Bookmark
The bookmark, crafted from exquisite Oeko-Tex certified leather, is available in a variety of colours, including cognac, tobacco, almond, terracotta, mandarin, saffron, granite, grey, dark blue, forest, and cactus. Unless you specify a different colour in the comment field at checkout, you will receive a cognac bookmark. Please also include the initials or name (up to 12 characters) you’d like debossed on the bookmark in the comment field.
The books are available on a first-come, first-served basis. We will notify you immediately if we are unable to fulfil your order.
Live Event in Copenhagen
If you’re in Copenhagen on 18 December, visit our store at Hauser Plads 20 between 16:00 and 18:00 for live debossing of bookmarks. This is a great opportunity to personalise additional bookmarks or explore other gift ideas.
Why the Bookmark Matters
Our bookmark is a tribute to our heritage in bookbinding. It’s designed to enhance the experience of reading a real paper book and adds a touch of elegance with its personalisation. To us, it’s the perfect way to elevate a book gift, making it truly thoughtful and unique.

Cherish your precious belongings
It was during a personal search for storage solutions that the vision for August Sandgren originated. I, Pia, who directs the company, love a decluttered environment and I like it to be functional, high-quality, and aesthetic. I couldn’t find any storage objects that met all my demands. We discovered August Sandgren, and by integrating our vision with his unbelievable heritage, we believe we can create functional and aesthetic boxes, folders, and holders, which suits today’s world but rendered in a quality unparalleled by anyone other than traditional craftsmen.
We believe we succeeded, and fortunately, our customers agree.
Crafted by hand in the best available materials
Each August Sandgren object is crafted by hand in Portugal by a fourth-generation family of craftsmen. They are not only incredibly talented, but also very dear to us.
The leather and fabrics that we use are all sourced in Europe and from leading tanneries offering transparency; from the origin of the hide to their Oeko-tex certified tanning processes.
Today, most of our objects are crafted in surplus materials sourced from the world’s leading furniture and fashion brands – we are not only very proud to contribute to waste reduction, but also to work with a quality that does not get any better!
It is easy to keep your object beautiful
We craft our objects to last – both in their construction and in our choice of materials. The construction is perfected in every aspect to ensure that it lasts, and to a large extent, so will the leather. The leather will, however, patinate, which we believe is part of its beauty and a testimony to how natural a product we create. To maintain our objects in the best possible way, and to keep it moist, you should leave it out of direct sunlight and every couple of years, treat it with leather grease – just use a soft, clean, cotton cloth and a thin layer of grease, and that’s it!
Make it personal!
All our leather objects can be personalised with name or initials. It is a small addition with a huge and valuable potential for appreciation from the receiver – that person being yourself or someone dear to you.
Personalising your object is easy and only increases delivery time with a maximum of two-three days.
