Our history

In 2004, Christian Birksø began selling anatomical plastic models of the brain to his fellow psychology students at the University of Copenhagen. The plastic brain models were the beginning of what is now one of Scandinavia's largest distributors of anatomical models for educational purposes. The company is named eAnatomi and focuses on importing existing models and posters from other manufacturers around the world.

When Christian started at UCPH, it was with lecturers like Anders Gade and Jesper Simonsen who often brought a plastic brain to class to create understanding of the complex structures and their location. It is always exciting how something tactile, something you can see and touch, can increase understanding so significantly. Explaining the Amygdala's location in the temporal lobe suddenly became easy, now that it is possible to see the location and even physically feel it on the plastic brain.

There are several students who, through difficult paths abroad, obtain a model and the envy and excitement among the other students is great when the models are proudly displayed in the classroom. For the same reason, it is obvious to Christian to find another way, by which it is easy and straightforward to obtain your own brain model.

Christian had previously sold many other exotic products, so the business foundation was in place and before long the first agreement with a German manufacturer of brain models was concluded. Let's put it this way, 'brains to the people' were delivered in a big way from then on.

With the brains come many other anatomical products and because the time at that time had limited online shopping options, it turns out that Christian's small shop was among the first, if not the first!, to make it easy and straightforward to order brains, but also all other conceivable anatomical models and posters online.

in 2005, imports from Asia begin and even though Christian lives on the 4th floor without an elevator, everything is carried up, one box at a time, and the apartment is converted into a warehouse;

 

In 2007, the warehouse moves to Ingemannsvej in Frederiksberg, where everything grows in volume;

in 2012 eAnatomi moves to Nybrogade in central Copenhagen opposite Christiansborg Palace. Half of a beautiful mansion is filled with skeletons and Christian has a party;

Christian and the parcel transport. 2012, Christian Birksø, founder of eAnatomi, rolls the day's shipments to the post office behind Copenhagen Central Station. No one knows exactly how many skeletons have been sent over the years, but we're guessing several thousand.

In 2014, the company and warehouse move to Naverland in Glostrup's industrial district, where distribution will be streamlined and Christian, at long last, will no longer have skeletons in the closet;

Today, eAnatomi is a company that, through its own development department, delivers a growing range of models, but especially anatomical posters. With sales to several countries, international distribution and marketing of the brands eAnatomi and Anatomic Aesthetics, the mission is to create a growing export market that can put Denmark on the map for original and not least ingenious anatomical teaching aids.
