Background
As a family we had the privilege to work and live in various countries and to travel to the most exclusive resorts and hotels around the globe. That’s how we developed our passion for architecture, design and a certain lifestyle. We learned that a great experience is most of the time built on simplicity that comes from mother nature. So, no surprise that we got passion for design by nature or better design from wood.
We are sourcing unique and quality products from countries like Brazil, Thailand, New Zealand and Indonesia. Our products are sourced and handpicked for its beauty by ourselves. In our selection you will find tropical hardwood like, Kauri, Suar (Monkey pod), Teak, Tamarind, Rosewood, Mango and Pequi.
In the sourcing process we look at the environmental impact as well and prefer suppliers who are FSC certified.
Our products are not commodity products, which means we select unique and mostly oversized pieces. We always have a wide range of products in stock but we also do tailor-made assignments or searches on special request. Our customers are typically hotels, banks, private companies, interior designers and individuals with spacy houses and appreciation for a luxury lifestyle.
We run our business from a Lodge, which is located on the edge of forest, close to the royal palace ‘Het Loo’ in Apeldoorn, The Netherlands.
