About us
A small workshop in Pretoria, and how it got here.
- 2019
It all started
WoodPecker was founded in 2019. It started with resin cutting boards, tables and a lot of pine, all made by hand.
- 2020
From pine to solid wood
Word got around and the requests got bigger, so we moved to custom furniture in proper solid woods.
- Along the way
Schools and boardrooms
Work for schools, corporate buildings and reception areas. Family lent a hand, and it became a real family business.
- 2022
A bigger team
More people joined, and for a while three of us built furniture together.
- Then
Keeping the show running
Running the workshop alongside studying Industrial Engineering at the University of Pretoria.
- 2024
Back at it
We moved into CoSpace for a bigger office space and worked from there.
Working with partners
We partnered with Centurion Upholstery on upholstered pieces, and did work for MAUSS.
Xiquel Group, twice
Office makeovers for Xiquel Group at Hertford Office Park, Midrand: first in 2023, then again in 2024, from the reception to the desks.
- 2025
Kgodumodumo, Golden Gate
Ottomans for the dinosaur display at the dino centre near Clarens: 24 cubes, six sides each, that make up a puzzle.
Tap to turn the cubes
- 2026
A new chapter
About 180+ orders in, an offer came from an edTech startup to work full time in software.
- 2027We are here
Something brand new
This is where we are now. WoodPecker is relaunching with a new look and feel and more bespoke pieces, built on everything the years taught us: quality, unique pieces that stay affordable.
Zander, founder
Reuse, reduce, recycle
We use readily available wood that is sustainably grown and doesn't contribute to deforestation. Offcuts are stored and used in future projects, so nothing precious goes to waste.
A personal approach
Every piece starts with a conversation about your space, and you deal directly with the person making it.
Quick and clear
Efficient work and straight communication mean shorter turnaround times and no guessing where your piece is.
Well priced
Low overheads and low volume mean you pay for the furniture, not for a warehouse.
