WOODAIM
How we build it

How a project moves through the facility.

From the first email to the finished piece. One facility, one team to talk to, three decades of figuring out how to do this properly.

WOODAIM production facility
01

You send us what you have

Drawings, references, a few photos, sometimes just a sketch. We read it, we ask questions, and we tell you honestly whether it's a project we should be doing together. If anything in the design needs rethinking before we cut wood, we'll say so now.

02

We build a prototype

Real wood, real finish, real joinery. You see the actual piece before we commit to tooling. We sit with it, you sit with it, and we change whatever isn't right.

03

Production

Whether it's six benches or three hundred chairs a year, each project gets its own run on the floor. Same people, same machines, checks at every step. We're fussy about board selection, because that's where most quality problems start.

04

Quality control

Every finished piece gets held up against the approved prototype. Structure, finish, dimensions, the way the grain lands. If something isn't right, it doesn't ship. We'd rather make it again than send it out and hope.

05

Ready to leave the floor

Every piece is checked, protected and packed properly for transport, then held ready for collection. Clients usually arrange transport on their side; we make sure the goods leave in the condition they were made in.

Custom furniture manufacturing

One-off pieces and small batches, built to your drawings.

A custom project starts with what you send us: a sketch, a CAD file, a reference photo, a finished design. We prototype it, refine it, and build it. Six chairs for a private dining room, a single reception desk for a hotel, a sculptural table that has to fit one exact corner. We don't keep a catalogue, so the piece is always the thing.

  • · One-off commissions and limited editions
  • · Prototyping in the actual wood and finish
  • · Design engineering feedback before production
  • · Careful packing and protection for transport
OEM & private-label furniture manufacturing

We build it. You put your name on it.

"Under your label" means exactly that. You own the design and the brand. We handle the manufacturing: sourcing the wood, prototyping, production, finishing and quality control. The finished product carries your label, your packaging, your story. We act as a production partner, not a supplier. Learn about becoming a manufacturing partner.

  • · Batches of 50 to 500 units per year
  • · Consistent output across multiple production runs
  • · Brand-specific finishes, hardware, and packaging
  • · Long-term relationships with design brands and studios
The wood

Two woods, both Lithuanian.

FSC® Chain of Custody certified.

Our oak and ash are traceable from Lithuanian forests through every step of the workshop. The certificate is valid through May 2028 and available to review.

Oak furniture manufacturing

Slow-grown Lithuanian oak.

Our oak comes from Lithuanian forests, where the shorter growing season makes the wood denser and harder than oak grown further south. We work primarily in solid oak and ash, with MDF/MDP-cored construction for certain pressed components, and walnut, pine and veneer available for specific requests on top of that. The grain is tight, the colour is warm, and it takes an oil finish beautifully.

  • · FSC® Chain of Custody traceable sourcing
  • · Primarily solid oak construction
  • · Natural oil finish as standard
  • · Tables, chairs, benches, bar furniture, reception pieces
Ash furniture manufacturing

Lighter, more elastic, equally Lithuanian.

Ash is the wood we reach for when a piece needs to be lighter, or when the design calls for slim, shaped components. It's strong for its weight and takes a finish much like oak. We use it in solid form for chairs, stool legs, frames, and any project where the design benefits from a lighter timber.

Where a design needs curved or moulded parts, we make them in-house by pressing over an MDF/MDP core. It is an established capability on our floor, alongside the solid oak and ash fabrication that remains the bulk of what we do.

  • · FSC® certified Lithuanian ash
  • · Curved and moulded components pressed in-house over an MDF/MDP core
  • · Oil or hardwax finish
  • · Chair frames, stools, legs, lighter tables

Lead times & minimum orders

50 to 500 units a year.

Minimum order quantities start at 50 units for OEM programs and one-off pieces are quoted individually. Lead times depend on the design and the batch size, but we usually quote 6 to 8 weeks from approved drawing to prototype, then 4 to 8 weeks from approved prototype to finished goods. Our furniture goes to clients across Scandinavia, the UK and Western Europe.

Minimum order quantities

OEM programs: typically 50 to 500 units per year. Custom one-off projects quoted individually.

Lead times

Roughly 6–8 weeks from approved drawing to prototype, then 4–8 weeks from approved prototype to finished goods. One-off custom pieces run 4–12 weeks depending on the product.

Packing and handover

Goods are packed and protected for transport, then held ready for collection. Transport is usually arranged on the client side.

Questions

MOQs, lead times, OEM, materials.

We've answered the questions we get asked most often, from minimum order quantities and lead times to FSC certification and private-label production.

What we do, what we coordinate

The stuff we build, and the stuff we organise.

Solid oak and ash is what we produce in-house. Everything else a project needs, the upholstery, metalwork, stone, hardware, we coordinate through partners we've worked with for years. You still only have one team to call.

Oak and ash are our specialisation, but we do occasionally work in walnut, pine and veneer for specific requests. If your project needs something outside those two species, talk to us.

Working oak and ash

Modern machines, but we still pay attention to the board. It's the part most people skip.

Finishing by hand

Natural oils, sometimes hardwax, occasional light stain. Almost always applied by hand.

One-offs and sculptural pieces

A single bench, a strange table, a sculptural counter. We prototype and build it in-house.

Repeat batches for brands

50 to 500 of the same piece a year, under your name, year after year. The hundredth one should look like the first.

Sourcing the rest

Upholstery, metal, stone, hardware. We coordinate it through partners we've worked with for years.

Packing and protection

Pieces are packed to survive the road. Our furniture goes to Norway, Denmark, the UK, all over.
