Who We Are 🌿
At Olivewood, we celebrate craftsmanship and the richness of Tunisian know-how. Our pieces are created in small workshops where every step matters: wood selection, shaping, sanding, oiling… No mass production here—each object has a soul, unique grain, and a story to tell.
Our mission is to offer durable, useful, and beautiful objects for the kitchen and home, while prioritizing eco-friendly and socially responsible practices throughout the supply chain.
Rooted in Tunisia 🇹🇳
Tunisia—land of olive trees—is at the heart of our identity. We work exclusively with olive wood sourced from natural renewal (regular pruning, no trees felled for production), in full respect of the life cycle and the seasons. This dense, naturally antibacterial wood reveals singular grain patterns: no two pieces are alike.
Handcrafted Creations 👐
Each piece is shaped by hand by passionate artisans: cut along the grain, dried, formed, finely sanded, then finished with food-contact-safe oil (no varnish). This process honors the material and ensures authentic, long-lasting objects.
Material & Traceability 🌳
- Wood from well-maintained groves (regular pruning—no dedicated logging).
- Minimal treatment: no varnish, only food-safe oil.
- Low-waste approach: offcuts are repurposed into smaller items whenever possible.
Our Commitments 🌍

- Preserving nature through responsible wood selection and simple, clean finishes.

Care & Longevity 🧴
To extend the life of your pieces: hand-wash, dry immediately, then apply a light coat of oil whenever the wood looks dry. For stains or odors, see our Care FAQ.
