Arco

In 2024 Arco turns 120 years old, and this fourth generation Dutch furniture producer continues to go from strength to strength.

Arco have been making tables and the objects that complement them since 1904. That’s four generations as an independent, family owned concern – a lot of sweat, skill and splinters. The Arco factory is located in de Achterhoek, a region in the east of Holland renowned for its natural beauty. This proximity to nature has inspired the craftspeople of Arco to make products with the finest wood, often locally sourced, and as sustainably as possible.

Thanks to Arco’s roots and experience, it’s fair to say the company has learned a thing or two about beauty, craft, human nature... and nature in general. For instance: “Beauty” is another word for quality. Craft requires humility. It’s better to design for timelessness, not trends. Act with respect. Whether you’re dealing with a colleague, a customer, or a forest. Invest in new technologies, new skills, new materials and new talent (Arco are pretty open-minded for a 120-year-old).

Arco refers to this mindset as “the New Craftsmanship.” And it’s why Arco make handcrafted tables, for this generation and the next. And the next.
