It all started in 1983 with a visionary Danish shipbuilder. Design enthusiast, industrial designer, artist and writer Bent Krebs founded REDGREEN and created the iconic logo that depicts his passion for the sea, sailing and unique design.

The first REDGREEN collection was launched at a time when lifestyle brands and storytelling were not yet on everyone's lips. Bent Krebs created enormous success, and during the first twelve years in the industry, the turnover exceeded 5 million euros.

REDGREEN was available in selected stores, exclusive department stores and concept stores - not only in several European countries, but also in Hong Kong and Japan, where REDGREEN concept store number 13 opened in 1995. At the beginning of the new millennium, the number of concept stores worldwide exceeded 125 .
