Otter Handmade wooden furniture

Otter Handmade is a British artisanal brand specializing in high-quality, handcrafted wooden furniture and home accessories. The company was founded by John Holt, a craftsman with decades of experience in traditional woodworking, alongside his wife Kate, who manages the office and upholstery services. Based in the Coquet Valley of Northumberland, the brand is deeply rooted in the local landscape, drawing inspiration from the surrounding nature and the Northumberland National Park.

Every piece is manufactured in their workshop in Northumberland, UK, using traditional joinery techniques such as dovetails and mortise and tenon joints. The brand places a heavy emphasis on sustainability, sourcing timber from FSC-certified merchants or recycled sources and utilizing renewable energy to power their workshop. Otter Handmade operates as a private family-run business, maintaining a focus on bespoke, heirloom-quality items that range from small kitchenware and craft boxes to full-scale custom kitchen installations.
