Carpentry is one of the oldest crafts on earth, and furniture making ordinarily requires a huge amount of skill in order to deliver truly exceptional results. Unfortunately, these traditions are largely dying off, particularly in the global South, making great wooden furniture hard to come by at reasonable prices. At Houtlander we want as many people as possible to have access to beautiful, well-crafted furniture which lasts a lifetime. This is why we’ve combined expert craftsmanship with 5-axis CNC technology, allowing us to create perfect curves, joints and furniture features in an affordable and replicable way.

Interior trends constantly change, creating an unsustainable cycle of consumerism and aesthetic stress. We believe there is a simpler way. All our pieces are made to stand the test of time, drawing from Scandinavian and Japanese traditions to work seamlessly in any space. Our classic shapes and materials impart a feeling of understated elegance. We believe this is how furniture should be: beautiful, timeless and made for living.
