Our story
"It started with watching my dad work. Wood isn't just a material — it's alive in a way plastic never is."

My father has spent his life in wood and construction. Growing up around his workshop, I learned how real timber behaves — how it ages, how it feels under your hand, how it remembers everything that happens to it.

More and more everyday things are being replaced with cheap synthetic stuff. Functional, maybe. But lifeless and disposable. That didn't sit right with us — so we started Arborin, to put a little more natural wood back into daily life.

How a piece is made

From timber yard
to your desk.

1

Choose the larch

We start at the wood itself. Grain, weight and colour decide what each board wants to become.

Tool: a good eye
2

Cut & shape

Slots for phones, wells for pens, angles for books — cut and test-fitted against the real objects.

Tool: saw & chisel
3

Sand by hand

Three grits, then a fourth. If it isn't smooth enough for your bedside table, it isn't finished.

Tool: patience
4

Oil & send

A natural finish that protects the wood and deepens the grain. Then it's wrapped and posted from London.

Tool: natural oil
Your name here
— Laser engraved —
Personalise it

Wood remembers.
So make it personal.

A name, a date, a company logo — engraved straight into the grain, not printed on top. It can't peel, fade or rub off.

Good to know

Questions,
answered honestly.

anything else? just message us
— we actually reply ✦

Is it really solid wood?

Yes — real, solid larch, cut and finished by hand. No veneer over MDF, no "wood-effect" anything. Each piece has its own grain, so no two are identical.

How does personalisation work?

Tell us the name, date or logo you'd like and we laser-engrave it directly into the wood. It's part of the piece — it can't peel or fade. For custom requests, message us on Etsy so we can get the details right.

How long until it ships?

Pieces are made to order in our London workshop, so allow a few days for making before dispatch. Each product page shows current making and delivery times.

How do I care for it?

Mostly: just use it. Wipe with a dry or barely damp cloth, keep it away from radiators and standing water, and once a year a drop of natural wood oil keeps the grain rich.
