Define Your Space With Modern Heritage Furniture

Since all our furniture is handcrafted to order, please allow 10-12 weeks for production, and an additional week or two for delivery. Contact us if you need expedited production for a fee, which depends on how busy we are and how quickly you need your product.

For smaller items (Tripod Table, Oxbend Chair, and Oxbend Stool) we are able to parcel ship, usually via UPS. You’ll be able to track them via your order confirmation, and standard transit time is 3-5 business days. For larger items (everything not listed above) our standard shipping is via curbside freight. We blanket and plastic wrap everything before strapping it to a pallet inside a large box, to slow temperature and humidity changes in the wood on its journey. Once the pallet has reached the destination terminal, the freight company will call you to coordinate delivery to your home. For curbside freight, the driver is not responsible for unpackaging or carrying the furniture into your home, or for removal of any packing material. If you need white glove or extra services, please contact us.

All of our furniture is completely original, and designed in-house by the founder of Fernweh Woodworking, Justin Nelson. Fernweh Woodworking launched its first furniture line item in 2017; The Tripod Table. It was the first exploration into the seamless joinery that is now signature in all new furniture items. Next came the award-winning Sling Chair. In early 2020 Justin designed and launched the Oxbend Collection. Fernweh Woodworking is growing into a small-batch furniture studio with the goal of remaining organic and handmade through the whole process.

We make all our furniture from start to finish in-house, at our small production wood shop & leather studio in Bend, OR.

We would love to meet you and show off our space. Send us a message and we’ll coordinate a time to have you out to the studio! By appointment only.

We have several showrooms and are always adding / selling furniture out of them. Please send us a message to find out where your nearest showroom is! Do you want to add our items to your showroom? You can contact us and we’d love to speak with you. 

Our design aesthetic has been most often described as “Danish” mingled with “Mid-Century Modern” yet my goal is that each piece is original and stands in a category of its own. Over the years, I’ve looked up to and admired the work of many designers. Sam Maloof’s work is what got me passionate about furniture design. At the time, I just had no idea that what he was doing was even possible! I didn’t have any background in art or design or sculpture. I got inspired by him when I read his book, and I just really admire his legacy and work ethic. After that I did a deeper dive into the great Danish designers. My favorite furniture book is Just One Good Chair about Wegner’s designs. He was such an incredibly diverse designer. Everything he did was beautiful, and I admire how he partnered with manufacturers to make his designs accessible without sacrificing quality. Although he didn’t produce the pieces himself, he had a deep understanding of the technical aspects needed for production. With Finn Juhl, I love how you can just see his passion for design come out. He had such playful, lavish curves and details in his furniture while avoiding any sort of overdone gaudiness.

We want our furniture to fit into your space seamlessly, therefore we are more than happy to work with custom wood species or materials. In most cases, customization fees will apply, and we will work with you to ensure that your materials will hold up to our rigorous standards. Due to the request of a vegan client, we began working with felt wool for our sling chair awhile back. Please don’t hesitate to contact us to discuss!

We use a natural, VOC-free hardwax oil on all our furniture. It is extremely durable, and user-friendly. There are two products I would recommend for maintenance, although only on an “as-needed” basis. First: soap. We sell concentrated soap specifically designed for use with our finished furniture, and it really is amazing. Just mix it into a squirt bottle with water and clean as needed. If, after a few years, you feel like you would like to refresh your furniture to make it have that new sheen again, I recommend this maintenance oil. Just wipe it on, and gently buff it off. It will dry within a few hours, leaving your furniture looking brand new!

Great question! We usually have just a few available pieces sitting in our small showroom; please send us a message and we’ll let you know if we can immediately ship a piece to you!
