Wonderwall Studios

Mission

To create joyous panelling from salvaged woods that enriches surfaces and enhances your interior. We strive for the highest quality to produce panelling that will last a lifetime.

How

We scour the land for woods that can be salvaged and upcycled, giving discarded timber a second lease on life. Typically, we’ll turn a weathered girder into a striking collection of unique wall tiles. It’s a reincarnation of sorts.

Why

We love wood and working with craftspeople. We love salvaging woods, breathing new life into something old, worn and weathered. We love exploration and travel. We love design and having fun with like-minded souls. That’s why we do what we do the way we do it.

Wonderwall Studios wasn’t founded, it happened. During our travels throughout South-East Asia we had come across many abandoned houses. ‘What a waste of wonderful resources!’ We thought. ‘We should do something!!’ We said. So we did. We bumped into a great team of woodworkers on Java and started working with them on building a collection. That was back in 2010.

A lot has changed since those early days. Our collection has expanded and is topflight. The team of woodworkers on Java has pretty much become our family and their workshop our home away from home. But besides that, we’ve grown up. Our network is diverse and global and everyone we work with a professional.

The locations of our workshops are determined by where we find and salvage wood. Take our railway sleepers, for instance: we found a huge stockpile in Rajasthan, India. Now, instead of shipping the load to another place, we set up shop on the spot and seek a workshop willing to do business. This not only makes sense on a business level (efficiency!), but also helps the community (jobs and happy people!). Everyone’s a winner.
