Founded in 1999, Speke | Klein is a design and manufacturing company which offers its signature collection of modern furniture to the North American market, as well as custom manufacturing services to Architects, Designers and Retailers.

Pragmatism, traditional craftsmanship and a distinctly modern approach to design inform Speke | Klein's style. The company presents retailers and consumers with a constantly evolving collection of high-quality modern designs, which is sold in selected specialty stores across Canada and the United States.

Every year Speke | Klein launches a new line at the International Contemporary Furniture Fair in New York, the largest contemporary residential furniture exhibition in North America. Its award-winning designs have been featured in numerous magazine and newspaper articles, and exhibited in trade shows in Canada, the US and the UK.

Quality emerges from a high degree of attention to details, materials, craftsmanship and technique. For instance, the inside of a typical Speke | Klein cabinet drawer, with its beautiful dovetailed joints, is every bit as important and carefully conceived as the outside of a cabinet. Speke | Klein furniture products are designed to last for many generations, and apply the finest modern production methods together with time-tested traditional techniques of wood joinery that include finger jointing, mortise and tenon, and dovetailing.

Maintaining a relatively small production facility allows firm founders Robin Speke and Thomas Klein to maintain the quality control consistent with their ideas about timeless design. Both co-founders were trained at England's renowned Parnham College, informing an attitude grounded in a European design sense that combines straightforward functionalism with understated elegance.
