Otter Handmade Furniture

Otter Handmade is a British artisan woodworking brand founded by John Holt, dedicated to traditional craftsmanship and bespoke furniture design. Operating out of its workshop in the United Kingdom, the brand specializes in creating high-quality, long-lasting items ranging from smaller kitchen and home accessories like boxes and shelves to large-scale custom furniture such as wardrobes and library units.

The workshop is known for using traditional methods and sustainable materials, often utilizing hardwoods like Ash and Beech alongside Birch plywood. Each piece is hand-finished with high-quality oils or eco-friendly paints, emphasizing longevity and a departure from mass-produced 'fast commerce' furniture. As a small, family-owned enterprise, the business maintains a focus on heritage techniques, including complex repairs of structures like traditional Mongolian Yurts and the restoration of historical architectural elements.
