Uhuru Design is the Brooklyn-based “New American” furniture design firm specializing in bespoke residential and high-end commercial furniture.
About Uhuru
BORN IN BROOKLYN
Established in 2004 in Red Hook, Brooklyn, founders Jason Horvath and Bill Hilgendorf started designing and building custom high-end furniture with reclaimed materials.
STORIED MATERIALS
From reclaimed Coney Island boardwalk to teak salvaged from a decommissioned battleship, Uhuru finds inspiration in materials steeped in historical significance.
ICONIC DESIGNS
With work appearing in both the Smithsonian and the Brooklyn Museum and an influential client list that spans the globe, it’s clear that Uhuru – which mean freedom in Swahili – have built their own piece of history.
