Holzarbeiten Hattum

Houtwerk Hattum was a Dutch craft furniture workshop based in Hattem, active in the mid-twentieth century. The workshop specialised in hand-crafted wooden furniture made from solid hardwoods, producing pieces that combined traditional joinery with modernist form and proportion.

Objects from Houtwerk Hattum are collected as examples of Dutch handcraft in the postwar period — modest in scale, careful in construction, and representative of a counter-tradition to industrialised furniture production. Their quiet quality and honest materiality make them at home alongside both mid-century modern design and contemporary interiors.
