Hanil Woodcraft Atelier: Mastering Wood Finishing Techniques Webinar

Crafting Excellence in Wood for Generations

Hanil Woodcraft Atelier: Where Tradition Meets Innovation

Established in 1992, Hanil Woodcraft Atelier began as a small family workshop nestled in the vibrant city of Seoul. From humble beginnings, fueled by a passion for woodworking passed down through generations, we have grown into a renowned atelier celebrated for our dedication to craftsmanship and innovative design. Our founder, Lee Byung-chul, envisioned a space where traditional Korean woodworking techniques could harmoniously blend with contemporary aesthetics, creating timeless pieces that resonate with both heritage and modernity.

Over the decades, Hanil Woodcraft Atelier has remained steadfast in its commitment to using only the finest, sustainably sourced woods. We believe in respecting nature's gifts, and our materials are carefully selected to ensure both beauty and longevity. Our artisans, each a master in their own right, bring years of experience and an unwavering attention to detail to every project. From the initial design concept to the final finishing touches, every step is executed with precision and care.

Our philosophy extends beyond mere furniture making; we strive to create legacies. Each piece crafted at Hanil Woodcraft Atelier is designed to be cherished for generations, embodying the spirit of Korean artistry and the enduring appeal of handcrafted excellence. We are more than just furniture makers; we are custodians of a craft, dedicated to preserving and evolving the art of woodworking in South Korea and beyond.

Our journey has been marked by significant milestones that reflect our growth and dedication to the craft. In 2005, we expanded our services to include antique furniture restoration, recognizing the importance of preserving historical pieces and breathing new life into them. This expansion allowed us to further showcase our expertise in traditional techniques and our commitment to heritage preservation. In 2018, we proudly opened a new showroom in the prestigious Gangnam district, providing a refined space to display our creations and engage with our discerning clientele. Today, Hanil Woodcraft Atelier stands as a leading provider of custom woodcraft in South Korea, continuing to innovate and inspire in the world of woodworking.
