We create the foundations of your home
to inspire the stories of your life.
For more than 25 years, we have been creating timeless furniture and
accessories manufactured from quality materials. True to our values,
we have maintained our goal to produce good design, distinguished by
authenticity, simplicity and quality, as well as creativity and innovation.
We rely on our unique expertise to create singular designs ready to
embellish your daily life durably. We create collections for every room
or space: from the furniture that defines the purpose of an area
to the objects that layer it with meaning. Nothing excites us more than
seeing how people love and use our products in the stories of their lives.
All of our designs are intentionally timeless. They withstand trends and
associate well with different styles, and they can be passed on from one
home to the next, carrying over the stories of one lifetime to another.

Alain van Havre
For Alain van Havre, inspiration is
everything. Deeply connected to his
environment and passionate about
natural materials, he has developed an
exceptional expertise for woodworking.
Over the years, he has created his own
visual language centred around form,
a translation best described in collections
such as the Bok, Graphic, PI and Stairs.
He believes that for someone to connect
with a design, it is important to bring
it closer to nature. Over the past 20
years, Alain has played a pivotal role in
influencing the Ethnicraft designs we
know and love today.
“I’m obsessed with the
freedom of movement
in general, which is why
I strive to escape the
static in my designs
and add dynamism
to compositions.”
Jacques Deneef
Jacques Deneef is an Antwerp-based
designer with a fascination for basic
materials such as glass, wood, leather,
paper and wax. After entering the world
of art via his talents in oil and acrylic
painting, he now focuses his time giving
used objects new leases of life, alongside
design development in sectors such as
jewellery, lighting, textile, furniture and
decor. In offering objects a new existence,
Jacques believes they are transformed
into something new, they are made useful
in some other way, ultimately resolving
into their final destination: a work of art.

Nathan Yong
Inspired by observation of the visual
environment, Nathan Yong challenges
the existential questions of objects.
Instead of superfluous details, he
captures the poetry of products through
a stripping process. Objects lend
qualities that are informed by a lightness
of restraints. Based in Singapore,
Nathan runs a multidisciplinary design
consultancy spanning fields such
as graphic, industrial, interior and
architectural design, along with strategic
planning in product development,
manufacturing process and branding.

"My studio allows me
absolute freedom to
create. I walk through
the door, the world
outside stops, and I
am completely in
my element."
Dawn Sweitzer
An overflow of creative energy and a
profound interest in the world of
craftsmanship is what jump-started
Dawn Sweitzer’s journey as an artist.
Her works are expressions based on
travel, enriching cultures, textures within
the landscape, photography, food and
fashion. There is no fixed formula to how
designs are conceived — they blend
ideas, they reference vintage with mod-
ern. Within her beautiful North Carolina
studio, Dawn works, plays and discovers
in a variety of media: paint, woven textile,
mirror and glass, home accessories
and decor.
