ONDARRETA : PRESS KIT (2)

We make furniture to bring people closer together, establish links and strengthen relationships. We want to prompt moments of connection, create new spaces and enrich old ones. We want to bring charm and comfort to meetings, gatherings and conversations; to be the support for those who write books, design posters, send emails, compose letters, enjoy meals, play harps and behold art.

We are the heirs of woodworkers in the world of contemporary design. Tradition and innovation are the two lenses through which we see life. We conceive our collections with great respect for what really matters to us: an artisanal tradition that has been alive and evolving for over forty years; a balance between beauty and function, between craft and technology; a lively, vibrant style. This is what we look forward to every morning. This is why we don’t sit down, why we keep moving, facing challenges, and reinventing our business: so that we can always find new ways to bring joy to our clients with objects born from true passion.

Join together, stay in motion, persist in being, we enjoy doing our work.

We enjoy bringing in and sharing new perspectives, big dreams and smart ideas that come with each new member of our growing family. For our craft and our clients, we remain standing – we won’t sit just yet.

Do not sit please

At Ondarreta we make furniture to bring people together, establish links and strengthen relationships. All our families have been designed respecting what really matters: our more than 40 years of experience and our artisan tradition. A tradition, that allows us to evolve and find the link between craft and technology.Ondarreta, a family owned company that was founded in one of the three beaches bathing the bay of San Sebastian. A company in constant movement, always looking for beauty and functionality, doing what we love the must, always respecting our surroundings.

Design:It is our mindset – and not momentary aesthetic trends – that we want to see emerge in every one of our designs. From the moment of conception, our furniture is meant to transcend the balance between function and beauty. We want it to stand up for values of honesty and sustainability, to build bridges between people and prompt human connection, and to reflect our trajectory while responding to the needs of customers and markets today.

Raw Materials:The journey begins in the Basque Country, at the beech and oakwood plank warehouse where the material is carefully selected on criteria of sustainability, quality and beauty. Our designers look at each piece of wood for what a sculptor would in a block of marble: the potential to become, through chiselling and moulding, what they have imagined and drawn, they look for the possibility of using impeccable design to transform raw materials into a contemporary product.

Technique:Our production process today comprises both artisanal and technological techniques; it requires expert hands, trained eyes, and also modern machinery. We care for our heritage and remain aware of our origins while at the same time seeking to constantly innovate and evolve.

Traceability:In Ondarreta, we have our own wood manufacturing and varnishing plants, as well as a steel handling one which allows us to be flexible and deliver a bespoke final product resulting from a process of vertical traceability. All our plants are within a 60 km radius, which allows us to have a unique response time and a better quality in our service.

Sustainability:Our sustainable philosophy, key to our quality control, is based on transparency, honesty and passion for the raw materials. We design products that respect their natural life and enhance their beauty, always looking for the essential and commitment to what really matters.

ONDARRETA : PRESS KIT (6)DryDesign by Ondarreta TeamDry, the most architectural basic line in the catalogue, has led to the creation of shelves with the same sober style, its modular construction allows an infinite number of combinations. With a steel structure, it can be completed with modules with doors, drawers, castors and even perforated panels. Apart from steel shelves, Ondarreta also offers alternative shelves in birch plywood. The origin of this family can be traced back to a bench with simple, light and sober lines whose aesthetics have been transferred to the Dry collection of tables. Now there are also new double or triple tables, with the possibility of composing these in different heights, widths and lengths. And in this way an outstanding collection has been created.

SiluDesigned by Ben van Berkel / UNStudioBen van Berkel’s continuous chair is made out of wood in an extraordinary way. Stability is its outstanding quality, in addition to a sustainable, ergonomic and contemporary design following the tradition of the best carpentry techniques and expertise in the curving of wood, which occurs in two directions in the back of the chair.

Si lu Table : Nude sta ined oak. New measurements : 2400x1000

The Silu table, the quality of the wood construction is clearly apparent, especially in the joint between the leg and the table top, where it curves to meet the solid wood. Following the same forms as the chair, it avoids edges at this point. The wood is certified ash or oak and is available in natural colours but also in a range of stains that can be combined.

“I’m interested in how the design feels. In a building it is very rare for the body to touch the construction, whereas here all of the construction – the chair – touches the body.”

- Ben van Berkel

HariDesign by estudi{H}acHari, the result of a new collaboration between Ondarreta and the Spanish design atelier estudi{H}ac. A new collection, with chairs, stools and lounge pieces, with an industrial touch inspired by textile looms and a subtle and elegant feel inspired by delicate sewing thread.The combination of materials, wood, upholstered, steel and polypropylene, used for the seat and back, makes Hari a collection with a unique personality. All of this allows us to create a series of seats with expressiveness and appearance, which will flawlessly integrate in any space. From the most subtle combination, to the most expressive and colourful one, with the soft curves of the seat, and the simplicity of a steel tubular frame Hari is a recognizable timeless piece. In 2003, José Manuel Ferrero founded estudi{H}ac to give life to all the ideas that appeared unceasingly in his head and in just 16 years he has turned his design workshop into a national and international reference. The passion he puts into his work is evident from the very beginning. Discreet, cultured, elegant and immensely creative, for Ferrero design is a way of life that keeps the mind fully active in terms of creativity. We could say that the British term “bespoke” is the dogma that governs each of the Valencian businessman’s designs, as he creates pieces and elements tailored to each project.
