Our story
The craftsman behind KROKI
KROKI is a family business between the Netherlands and Bulgaria. We choose every piece ourselves, from Dutch homes, estates and auctions: furniture made more than 150 years ago by craftsmen who knew their wood.
In the Sofia workshop, master craftsman Emil checks every piece. He has more than 20 years of experience in wood, and he restores what needs it. We keep the patina, the grain and the small marks of time. They make this furniture hard to replace.
Other finds travel along with the furniture: wall clocks, fireplaces, serviced scooters. Everything passes through the same hands and the same checks before it reaches you.
