Our Product

This unique furniture, manufactured by Barnard Houtwerke, is handmade from orange wood recovered from citrus orchards, on the banks of the Letaba River in Limpopo province. This exclusive range of furniture, branded under the name of Orange Tree Furniture, is created from redundant citrus trees that are cleared for the re-establishment of new orchards. The recycling of this beautiful wood makes the furniture a sustainable green product.

Citrus wood, in its natural form, is light yellow in colour, has a very fine grain and has exceptional qualities for carpentry. Joins in the wood are inevitable due to the short length of the planks, however, quality control ensures that joins are inconspicuous.

The most important characteristic of Orange Wood is that each tree trunk is unique, as depicted by its life cycle and environmental conditions. When the wood is stained, a blend of colour emerges that contributes to the exclusivity and destinctiveness of each piece of furniture. A universal colour cannot be guaranteed as these imperfections in the wood are characteristic of Orange Tree Furniture.

We believe that this is a world first and are not aware of any company manufacturing furniture from Citrus Wood.
