From forest to finish
Sustainability at Houtlander
We only use sustainably harvested American oak to craft our furniture. Timber is an inherently sustainable material - trees are (ideally) an infinitely renewable resource. But many manufacturers rely on monocropped pine, or other woods, due to cost and ease. This practice destroys soil and the surrounding ecosystem. All our oak is grown in indigenous forests and felled only once fully matured. Our timber is then drawn from the forest in minimally invasive ways that preserve the surrounding vegetation.
Our Grounding Pillars
Crafted
All our furniture is exceptionally well crafted. By marrying traditional techniques with 5-axis CNC technology, we’re able to create an end product which bears all the marks of a hand-crafted piece, with none of the imperfections or hefty price tags.
Our Grounding Pillars
Considered
We believe in taking time within the creation process and working with nature to create harmonious design in every sense of the word. We don’t just want our furniture to look good, but to work effortlessly and leave a legacy, providing people with a sense of comfort and purpose. From perfectly curved seats to smoothly sliding cupboards, unwavering bed frames and tables that won’t wobble. Everything we create is well-considered and environmentally conscious.
Our Grounding Pillars
Timeless
We design all our furniture using classic silhouettes and noble materials, drawing from Scandinavian and Japanese traditions but adding contemporary twists. We believe furniture should last lifetimes and create a positive environmental effect, leaving a legacy for future generations. All our pieces will sit comfortably in any space, forever.

The Team
A Woodworking Home
Providing apprenticeships in our blend of 5 axis CNC and handcrafted techniques allows us to employ people who would otherwise have no entry point to the carpentry trade.
We hardly ever see staff leave and make a fervent effort to assist those who are struggling – frequently hiring from a nearby mentally handicapped facility and assisting the team wherever we can.
We take participation and transformation within our direct community seriously, and we believe you can feel that in the quality and energy of the end product.
