The essence of good design

For more than twenty-five years, Ethnicraft has been creating authentic , modern and timeless furniture made from solid wood and natural materials . The collections are based on the two co-founders' sense of good design: pieces with character that are made from high-quality materials and age beautifully. Furniture that inspires the story of your life at home...

Here the two company founders tell their very own story:

“In 1995, Philippe brought furniture and furnishings back from his trip to Indonesia to sell at home in Antwerp . We soon joined forces as long-time friends and began importing a container every few months. A year later, our customers were already waiting at the Antwerp docks with numbered tickets to buy that one special piece they coveted. We quickly decided to design and produce our own furniture and set up our first production facility in Indonesia .

Today, outstanding craftsmanship is at the heart of our brand, and behind the simplicity of our pieces is a constant pursuit of innovation . By using advanced techniques in our creation process, every new design is checked down to the smallest detail and revised again and again. Make our furniture part of the story of your life!”

" I am obsessed with the freedom of movement in general, which is why I strive to escape static in my designs and add dynamism to the compositions. "
