Canadian Furniture Manufacturer | About Us



		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 and Designers.

		Speke Klein's Company Vision
		Speke Klein aims to be the company that people think about for solid wood - beautiful design, excellent quality, and intricate and complex fabrication.



		Speke Klein's Mission Statement
		Everything that Speke Klein does is approached with the highest level of integrity - from our close relationship with customers and suppliers, our principles of clear, functional modern design, and our precision and high quality craftsmanship. We work closely with our customers to listen to their needs, interpret and translate their desires, and deliver a final product that rises above their expectations.

		Our Collection
		Pragmatism, traditional craftsmanship and a distinctly modern approach to design inform Speke Klein's style. Comprised of our own designs as well as the work of international furniture designers, each piece in our collection is representative of the Speke Klein promise of quality: simple but elegant design, superior materials and meticulous attention to detail. Equally suitable for residential or public spaces, we are able to adapt our designs to your requirements. Our award-winning designs have been featured in numerous magazine and newspaper articles, and exhibited in trade shows in Canada, the US and the UK.



		About Speke Klein's Quality
		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.
