KAPLAN 1934, Czech Republic
Kaplan 1934 is a family-owned furniture company from the Orlické Mountains in the Czech Republic, where four generations have cultivated their craft. Working with solid wood from local forests, we create timeless tables and chairs that combine strength, lightness, and meticulous detail. Every piece reflects nearly a century of tradition, persistence, and innovation—designed to serve not just for today, but for a lifetime.
