Description

Created in 2018, Holy-wood is an association of craftsmen who create designer furniture with locally recovered wood in an ethical and holistic approach. Holy-wood ensures the quality of creations from the deposit, through design, to marketing and its customers (companies, offices, commercial spaces, cultural spaces).

A wide range of furniture is offered: tables, desks, chairs, benches, kitchen furniture, shop furniture, bars, counters, etc.

A locally rooted business: this cooperative started at the heart of the Community of Emmaus Ghlin, who wanted to re-value wooden furniture which cannot be sold in their store and has a cost for the community. Holy-wood recovers, sorts wood to design and manufacture furniture (custom-made, in small series) with a healthy and natural painting and oil.

More information on Holy-wood and its founder are available here (in French).
