Arbore
Good Hearted Simplicity.
Welcome to ARBORE, where premium furniture meets the heart and soul of a family business.

ARBORE is a regenerative brand created by Carel Woodworks from Transylvania - part of the Creative East. We develop and manufacture furniture and interior objects encouraging good-hearted living as a gentle balance between beauty, simplicity, elegance and meaning.
We combine wood with other natural materials and our objects honestly connect creativity with pragmatism, light with shadow, vivid color with neutral shades and novelty with tradition. Thus creating fluid and uncomplicated elegant interiors.
Everything we create and manufacture draws from our three sources of inspiration, all centered on the Creative East: the good-hearted elegance of modernist female artists, the simplicity of mid century architecture, and the philosophical beauty of traditional craft.
We have always paid close attention to and been inspired by our world’s aesthetics history, its emotions and depth, and mixing all that with the contemporary culture and the exuberance creativeness of Eastern Europe is how we keep pace with the dynamics around us.
The inception of Arbore began as a seed in the visionary mind of Elena, taking root and blossoming like the plum flowers that adorned the gardens of her childhood. These flowers, symbols of hope and resilience, were a constant inspiration.
Raised by a strong and wise woman, Elena and her three sisters learned the power of unity and support, echoing the harmony found in the four seasons. This familial bond, shared with their mother, is beautifully symbolized by the five petals of the plum flower, representing each of the women in her family.
For us, Arbore is more than just a name, it is a tree of life that embodies our core values of growth, kindness, and connectivity. Each branch of our tree signifies the contributions of our family members, spreading wide to nurture the collective spirit where creativity and innovation thrive.
This tree expands not just upwards but outwards, reflecting our journey from local artisans to global influencers in the furniture design industry.
At Arbore, we create more than furniture, we craft experiences that bring families and communities together.
In a world where gaining attention is a challenge, we have found our voice, and through it, we hope to inspire others to find theirs.

I AM DESIGNED CIRCULAR Collection
“Obsolescence is hard-coded into the linear system to save production costs and increase margins. At the same time, consumers have to contend with single-use products, which inadvertently leads to excess furniture waste. To me, furniture waste is primarily a symptom of failed user relationships. So, in 2020, during the height of the pandemic, I turned to the circular economy for answers. I wanted to create a brand where 'our mindset' generates aspiration to drive change.
By claiming the name I AM DESIGNED CIRCULAR, we are setting the highest standards for our products from the outset.It will be a long journey with many twists and turns. However, I firmly believe in the power of design to help build a lasting furniture legacy by connecting, educating and inspiring like-minded individuals and businesses, showing that circular living is attainable for all”
