Uhuru was founded in 2004 by Rhode Island School of Design grads Bill Hilgendorf and Jason Horvath. The two honor the Shaker belief that “beauty rests on utility”. Most of the pieces they fabricate in their Red Hook, Brooklyn shop are from salvaged materials. The “Beam Table” pictured above is made from reclaimed timber from early 1900’s buildings in NYC that were being demolished. The Stoolen side table/stool is crafted from strips of wood saved from local Brooklyn area shops. See the rim around the piece? Bike rim. The “Fenced In” coffee table is made from repurposed cast iron fence pieces and 1/2″ tempered glass. Uhuru is currently working on some deals with local showrooms. For the moment contact them directly via their website for all inquiries.
