A dim living room with a wooden chair, a warm pendant lamp and dried flowers against a dark red-brown wall

Atelier Noord — Amsterdam-Noord

Solid wood, built slowly.

We design and build furniture in small numbered series from a former shipbuilders' hall on the IJ — oak, walnut and blackened ash, joined by hand and finished in oil.

The house view

A table should be the least disposable thing you own. So we build at the pace the timber allows — in series of twelve, joined without screws, finished with oil you can renew for decades.

The collections

Three timbers, three rooms.

A wooden-framed armchair in a dim room with dark green curtains and soft directional light

Solid European oak, for the living room.

A dark dining room with a wooden table and black chairs lit by warm window light

Meridian

American walnut, for the table.

Collection Nº 03

Vesper

Blackened ash, for the quiet hours.

The workshop

Joined by hand on the Asterweg.

Every piece is cut, joined and finished in our own hall, five minutes north of the IJ ferry. Two makers per piece, no production line, and nothing ships before the second inspection.

Why we dry our oak for three years

Kiln drying is faster. It is also how you get a tabletop that cups by Christmas. On air, patience and the moisture meter we trust.

Twelve chairs for a canal-house kitchen

A commission from the Brouwersgracht: one long table, twelve Meridian chairs, and a staircase that decided the design.
