Handmade in the Czech Republic at the leisurely pace quality deserves, our pieces are made slowly, on purpose, by people who actually care. We don’t do trends. We do forever. Perfect for those allergic to mass production, particle board and fast furniture

Exceptionally awesome furniture
  • Materials

    We love working with real materials like wood and metal - and we’re not afraid to get creative with recycled materials, too.

    One thing we absolutely refuse to use is particle board, so rest assured, nothing from Karlen is or ever will be made from it.

    Quality and authenticity come first.

  • Design

    At Karlen, our inspiration comes from real homes and everyday moments. We create furniture that’s both beautiful and practical, designed to fit naturally into your daily life.

    We prioritize sustainability by designing pieces that can be flatpacked whenever possible. This approach saves space and cuts down on CO₂ emissions during shipping.

    Beyond that, we think carefully about manufacturing processes and how each item will be used, making sure every product is smartly designed, durable, and timeless.

  • Delivery times

    Some of our smaller items are in stock and can be shipped within a week.

    Production of most of our larger pieces begins only after you place an order, allowing for customization to your preferences. You can find the production time listed in each product’s description. We’ll also keep you updated on the timelines throughout the process.

Why Karlen

Karlen was founded by Petra. But if she could pick, she would probably be called Karla.

Petra is from Czech Republic and she likes to do thing her way.

Including furniture.

She designs it usually with soft edges and in a way that can be flat-packed.
