About Us

Hi, I'm Priya — founder of Biophi.

Biophi is a curated marketplace for second-hand and upcycled home goods from local Copenhagen stores.

When I moved to Copenhagen, I needed to furnish a home fast. The city is full of good second-hand furniture — but finding it was surprisingly hard. The quality pieces were in stores I didn't have time to visit. And the online marketplaces were flooded with IKEA and Jysk, combined with the pain of transporting them from other people’s homes.

So I bought new from IKEA. Not because I wanted to — but because it was the easiest option.

I spent years working in cleantech. I knew furniture was one of the highest-footprint things you'll ever buy for your home. But it lasts — which means you only need to make the right choice once. One good decision, and it stays good for years. I just couldn't find a good way to make that decision easily.

So I built one.

Biophi works with vintage stores across Copenhagen so you can browse online, reserve what you want, and pick it up directly from the store. No hunting. No surprises. Most stores are also happy to deliver!

A thousand people living 10% more sustainably makes a bigger impact than a hundred people living perfectly. Biophi is here to make the sustainable choice the obvious one.

Thanks for being here. 🌿
