Manufacturer Details:

Uhuru is a small design + build furniture company dedicated to sustainability and creating timeless designs. Uhuru builds each piece by hand, in their Red Hook Brooklyn studio. We strongly agree with the shaker assertion that “beauty rests on utility” We strive to make furniture and products that are beautiful in their simplicity with an acute awareness of materials, and craft. Most of the things we make use materials that have been reclaimed, recycled, repurposed, reused or otherwise rejected from their original function.

Uhuru (Pronounced: oo-hoo-roo) was founded in 2004, by Bill Hilgendorf and Jason Horvath.

For us sustainability is about choosing materials with the least amount of environmental impact, whether it is what they are made of, how they are produced or where they come from, and using them in a way where little to no waste is created. We try to focus on using local materials as much as we can. One of the materials we are using most right now is reclaimed Heart Pine. This first growth wood, which is virtually extinct due to over harvesting a century ago, is extracted out of buildings being taken down in NYC. Not only does it have a beautiful grain and a rich color but it really is one of the most local materials available to furniture builders in New York City.
Our wood shop, metal shop, and design offices are located in an old foundry in Red Hook where we fabricate everything we make. Occasionally on big projects we will team up with other Brooklyn companies, but we keep it local. We strive to reduce our environmental impact in both our business and personal lives.

We are constantly researching and learning about new materials and construction methods in order to make the best products while creating the smallest impact possible.
