ABOUT US
Our story began in November 2019 in the cozy setting of Andrew's parents' garage. With nearly all our savings invested in our first CNC machine, we set out with a simple goal: to craft beautiful, unique items from wood. We didn’t have a detailed plan, just a shared passion and a love for creating special things.
Our first big hit came from a Weasley-inspired clock. Being huge Harry Potter fans, we decided to create it for ourselves. Anna took some stunning pictures, and we launched our first website. We ran a few online ads, and to our delight, people loved it! With the help of our designer we created various styles, and sold thousands of those clocks.
It was incredible to see how much people enjoyed our Weasley-inspired clocks. We had always dreamed of getting the official license for them. At first, it felt like a distant fantasy—after all, we were just a small team working out of a garage, and our requests for a license initially went unanswered. But we never gave up on our dream. We kept pushing forward, and eventually, that dream came true. We'll share the full story behind this achievement soon.
Always eager to create something new and unique, we found inspiration in the breathtaking lakes and mountains of Austria, where we were living at the time. Our favorite lake, Traunsee, sparked the idea of creating a wooden map. We envisioned something truly special, so we collaborated with a skilled carpenter for a custom wooden frame and opted for plexiglass instead of traditional glass to ensure safe transport. We chose the most durable, safe paints to enhance the wood's natural beauty without masking its texture.
That wooden map marked the beginning of an exciting new chapter for us. In just a few years, we expanded our range to include maps, clocks, keyholders, and more. Our small garage business grew into a large company with an official license from Warner Bros and customers from all around the world.
At this point, we want to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you for choosing our products to decorate your homes or as special gifts for your loved ones. Your support means the world to us and inspires us to continue creating even more special, unique, and valuable products for you.
Thank you for being a part of the ZeWood journey.
With warmest regards,
Anna and Andrew
