Lithuania · Working with Scandinavia and the UK · Since 1991

Solid oak and ash furniture. Made in Lithuania.

WOODAIM is a family-owned furniture manufacturer in Lithuania. We produce in solid oak and ash, only from Lithuanian forests, for hotels, restaurants and design brands across Europe. Typically 50 to 500 pieces of the same design a year, made under your name, built the same way every time.

What we actually do

We don’t have a catalogue. You bring the design, we work out how to build it properly.

Sometimes that’s one bench for a hotel lobby. Sometimes it’s three hundred chairs a year for a brand that sells them under their own name. Our facility is set up for both. Everything is solid Lithuanian oak or ash, produced in-house, by people who’ve been doing this for a long time.

01Production

Pieces for design brands, made under their name

A brand brings us a design, often something their own studio has been working on for months. We sit down with their designer, work out how to actually build it in solid oak or ash, prototype it, and then produce 50 to 500 of them a year under their label. Some of our partners have been doing this with us for six or seven years now.

02Production

Furniture for hotels, restaurants and bars

If you're opening a place and your architect has drawn the furniture, we can build the whole list. Chairs, tables, banquette frames, the bar, the bench in the lobby. One delivery, one team to call.

Helping the design actually work in wood

Most designers don't spend their days thinking about how oak moves with humidity or where a chair fails after three years in a busy restaurant. We do. So when we get drawings, we usually have a few notes. Nothing that changes the look. Things that make the piece last.

04Engineering

Set up for bigger programs too

Full hotel fit-outs, restaurant rollouts across several venues, a brand's full catalogue year after year. Our facility is set up for it. We've done it before, and the consistency from the first batch to the hundredth is the thing we're most protective of.

Occasionally we’ll take on a private home if an architect or designer brings us something interesting. Same wood, same workshop, same standards.

The wood

Lithuanian oak.
Lithuanian ash.
That’s it.

Two woods we know inside out. Both come from Lithuanian forests. The wood here grows slower and tighter than further south, so it’s denser, harder, and ages better. It costs a bit more. We think it’s worth it. We finish almost everything with natural oil, the kind of finish you can sand and re-oil on a Tuesday morning if someone scratches it. Lacquer is a repair job. Oil is also what most Scandinavian designers ask for, and most of our work goes north.

How a project usually goes

From your first email to a crate on a truck.

Five steps, roughly. Sometimes faster, sometimes slower, depending on the piece. This is the part of the business we’re most protective of, because it’s the difference between a chair that lasts ten years and one that doesn’t.

01

You send us what you have

Drawings, references, sometimes just a sketch on a napkin. We read it properly, ask a few questions, and tell you honestly whether it's a project we should be doing together.

02

We build a prototype

Real wood, real finish, real joinery. You see it before we commit to any tooling. If something isn't right, this is where we change it.

03

Production

Each project gets its own run on the floor. Same people, same machines, same checks at every step. The hundredth chair should look like the first one.

04

Quality control

Every finished piece gets compared against the approved prototype. If something isn't right, it doesn't ship. This sounds obvious. It's the part we're most protective of.

05

Getting it to you

Custom crating built for international freight. We handle the logistics, the customs paperwork, and we'll be there for the install if you need us.

Three generations of the WOODAIM family — grandfather, Andrius and his father
The company

A family-owned manufacturer in Lithuania. Wood since 1991.

The company was founded in 1991 by the grandfather and father of the current owner. Before them, two earlier generations were miškininkai and eiguliai, Lithuanian foresters who spent their working lives among the trees. Wood has been the family trade for five generations.

Today the business is run by father and son. The previous generation built it around Lithuanian clients; the current one has opened it up to brands and architects across Scandinavia and the UK. Different markets, same floor, same standards.

A long partnership · Ygg&Lyng

A note on the wood

Wood is the only thing we build with that grows back.

The forests that gave us this oak are still there, still growing. The carbon stays in the timber. A well-built oak chair lasts a generation or two, and when it’s finally done, it goes back to the soil. Five generations of foresters in the family. It’s the only way we know how to think about it.
