The Story Behind

We are a family with deep roots in both the Netherlands and Türkiye. As grandchildren of Turkish guest workers, we grew up in Rotterdam, where our grandparents once built their future. Generations later, in 2023, we decided - together with our son and daughter - to start a new chapter. We exchanged our life in the Netherlands for a quieter existence on the Aegean coast: a region rich in nature, tradition, and craftsmanship, surrounded by centuries-old olive groves.

Here, we found inspiration in everyday life. In simplicity, nature, and tradition. Things that touch you because they are genuine. What others might overlook, we saw as an opportunity: materials with character, stories with meaning.

That’s how Wood and Olives was born - a brand that embraces everyday products designed to last, natural and beautiful to behold. We collaborate with skilled artisans and small producers with years of experience. Everything is crafted with care, without unnecessary additives, so it truly endures. Whether it’s a wooden serving board or a natural care soap, each product tells its own story.

From the olive tree to your home: our products are meant to be used, enjoyed, and passed on.
