FOLK is a Portland based company that designs and build thoughtful and well crafted furniture, lighting, and goods.
FOLK originated from the desire to create pieces that will be around and stay around. Frustrated with the overabundance of cheap disposable products while simultaneously seeing the underutilized and highly talented craftsmen right here in Portland — FOLK was born. The founder, Richard Koehler, has a strong eye for simple design combined with a deep knowledge of materials and process. This leads to many of the beautiful objects that define FOLK. The idea is clear: responsibly build beautiful furniture, lighting, and goods that will last a lifetime. Our core values dictate the way our company lives and breathes. FOLK puts a strong emphasis on the exploration of design and materials. Combining modern tooling with the handmade touch of traditional woodworking, we aim to master the crossroads of precision and charm. We prefer material in its purest form, using solid hardwoods, steel, clay, bronze, and leather. We see value in working side-by-side with the masters of trade — machinists, artists, and ceramists – and are dedicated to utilizing the abundance of highly talented local companies. Everything is made right here in Portland.
