Schildersbedrijf J. IJdo

Espenaer is an Amsterdam-based woodworking atelier dedicated to artisanship, individuality, and environmentalism. We design and craft exclusive furniture pieces and accessories for our own collection and for private customers and businesses as part of our bespoke service. We specialize in traditional artisanal skills, hand tools, and techniques, including classic wood joinery. In addition, we develop and offer workshops and courses in artisanal woodworking and furniture making. Atelier Espenaer is inspired by an alternative economic model that values simple, slow, small, and sustainable entrepreneurship. Read more about our ideas in our manifesto on our website.
