The problem
Furniture builders in Amsterdam are scarce, expensive, and slow.
Searching for a furniture builder in Amsterdam returns four names, three of which are booked out twelve weeks. The fourth quotes €2,400 just to come and measure for a built-in desk you wanted under your stairs.
That's not a complaint about craftspeople: they're slow because they're scarce, and they're scarce because the work is genuinely skilled. What we can do is move design and cutting online. The studio generates four options sized to your room, a human cabinetmaker verifies the design, and a CNC mill cuts the panels.
You lose the in-person sketch session. You save the eight-week wait, two visits, and €1,500–€2,500 in labour. The wood and the fit are the same. Free to design today; production opens later in 2026.
Designed for Amsterdam homes. Shipped at launch.

BeforeConcept
How it works
A furniture builder, in three online steps.
01
Photo + what you want built
Two photos of the space, three measurements, a sentence about what you want: 'a desk under the stairs,' 'a wardrobe for the alcove,' 'a dining table for six in a 3.4 m room.' The studio generates four concepts.
02
Real cabinetmaker reviews
A human cabinetmaker validates the concept for structural fit, hinge clearance, and material specs. You see an indicative quote, a bill of materials, and a target delivery date.
03
Delivered to Amsterdam at launch
When production opens later in 2026, pre-cut, pre-finished, pre-drilled panels arrive in 7–10 days. Two people, one afternoon. No power tools needed.

Furniture for Amsterdam homes
Small footprints, tall rooms, narrow stairs.
Amsterdam apartments ask different questions of furniture than the average showroom answers.
Every square metre is contested
At Amsterdam prices per square metre, a desk under the stairs, a bed with real storage underneath, or a dining table sized to a 3.2-metre room is not a luxury, it is how the apartment becomes livable. Furniture designed to your exact floor plan earns its footprint in a way standard sizes cannot.
It has to get up the stairs first
Grachtenpand staircases were built for people, not wardrobes; for everything else there was the hoisting beam. Flat-pack panels sized for a narrow stairwell skip that problem entirely. No hoist, no scratched stairwell walls, no negotiating with a moving crew about a piece that does not bend.
Cut in Eindhoven, not overseas
Our planned production hub is Eindhoven, about 90 minutes from Amsterdam. That is what makes a 7–10 day delivery target realistic rather than optimistic, and it keeps transport emissions in line with the carbon accounting we publish. Exact carriers and dates will be confirmed before ordering opens.
