History
As a 20-year-old, Henrik Solberg published eight different postcards in 1993, which he sold in his spare time as an amateur nature photographer. Since then, he has had most of the postcard market, although sales today are less than half of what it was to begin with.
Today 5 people work in the company. Henrik and Heidi work in the office in Denmark, while Steffen, Ásbjørn and Bárður work in the Faroe Islands. Modern technology and a reliable staff makes this possible, even though the distance is more than 1,000 km. Sales have been growing most of the time and we now have more than 1,500 different items in stock.
