Civil Space is a direct-to-consumer furniture brand with headquarters in New York City and Amsterdam, specializing in contract-grade, Scandinavian designs. The company is operated by third-generation Norwegian furniture makers whose heritage traces back to a small wood and metal workshop founded in Norway in the 1950s. They focus on modularity and heirloom-quality construction tailored for urban living.

The brand designs its products in-house and collaborates with independent designers like Lars Tornøe and Brad Ascalon. All manufacturing takes place in Europe. A family-owned factory in Pordenone, Italy, produces their wood furniture and upholstered items. Civil Space sources textiles and leathers from recognized global mills, including Kvadrat, Sørensen, Designtex, Nevotex, and Dani.

Notable product lines include the Noord modular seating system and the Sosia solid wood table collection. Sustainability is a central priority, supported by the use of FSC-certified and PEFC-certified wood. The company guarantees a carbon-neutral footprint through Terrapass offsets and promotes circularity through a "Furniture for Life" program designed to extend the lifespan of their pieces.
