Since 1988, Woodbender has been at the forefront of crafting beautiful, durable dining furniture through the art of steam bending. This time-honoured technique allows us to shape wood into elegant, curved forms without compromising its strength. Our commitment to quality and innovation has made us a leader in the industry, known for dining furniture that is as lasting as it is visually stunning.
At Woodbender, sustainability is a core value. We exclusively use sustainably sourced Ash timber, a hardwood known for its strength, flexibility, and attractive grain. Ash is ideal for steam bending and grows relatively quickly, making it an environmentally responsible choice. By using Ash, we ensure our furniture is both beautiful and kind to the planet.
The process begins with selecting premium Ash timber. The wood is steamed until it becomes pliable, then expertly bent around a form to create the desired shape. As the wood cools, it hardens into its new form, retaining the continuous grain pattern that enhances its strength and durability. This technique results in furniture that is not only elegant but also built to withstand the test of time.
For over three decades, Woodbender has been dedicated to crafting furniture that embodies quality, durability, and sustainability. Our steam-bent designs, made from sustainably sourced Ash, offer timeless beauty and long-lasting functionality. When you choose Woodbender, you're investing in a piece of furniture that reflects our commitment to excellence and respect for the environment.
