Established in 2016, Ayke & WhatNot creates and curates unique and sustainable handcrafted wood furniture and décor pieces for glamping spaces. Our time in South Africa instilled in me a design aesthetic that brings together nature's raw beauty and practical functional design principles. 

​

I carefully choose the crafted pieces in the collection based on their practical, unique design and the ability to either be packed away or easily moved around a space. While aesthetics is essential when designing a piece; practicality, sustainability and durability always come first. I am also learning the craft of woodworking from my woodworker father, who makes the pieces in the collection. 
​
We hope you will find a unique piece to add to your living space as you explore our collection.
