Where Heritage Meets Innovation

In the years following the Second World War, Danes began spending their renewed freedom outdoors. Our founder, Søren Odgaard, saw this shift and began sewing tents from his garage for local families to rent. As lightweight caravans grew in popularity across Europe, Søren transformed his knowledge into something entirely new, the first caravan awning. This innovation expanded living space, making time outdoors more comfortable, and set a new standard for the industry.

In fact, the A-Measurement system, pioneered by Søren in collaboration with caravan makers in the mid-1950s, remains the global standard to this day. From that moment forward, Isabella became synonymous with progress in outdoor living.
