STARWOOD

StarWood Company

StarWood is about the art of blending natural materials with innovation to create warmth and comfort in homes. This approach enables us to achieve high durability and aesthetic appeal in our products. However, this clear direction didn’t emerge overnight.

The story of our family brand

It all began in 2017. Back then, Starwood was a team of craftsmen gathered in a 100 m² space, creating their first wood products. We took on nearly every possible interior element—from picture frames to doors, from key holders and clocks to coffee and dining tables.

As our team’s expertise grew, the variety of our products narrowed. We decided to focus on one area where we could deliver the best product on the market—tables that would share in the warmth of gatherings and the sincerity of our customers' conversations.

our history

2017

Our story began in 2017 with a strong desire to create unique wooden products. Back then, we had only 100 square meters of production space and a big dream. We crafted everything—from interior accessories like picture frames and chandeliers to tables, mirrors, and even doors.

2019

In 2019, we participated in the "ВСІ.СВОЇ" exhibition for the first time, held on October 19-20. This marked an important milestone in our brand's development, helping us expand our audience by showcasing our products to a wider public.

2020

By 2020, we had expanded our production space to 300 square meters and invested in new equipment, allowing us to start producing tables from natural wood, epoxy resin, and metal. On August 10 of the same year, the StarWood trademark was officially registered.

We also actively participated in exhibitions: on October 5, 2020, we presented our products at the Agroexpo-2020 International Agro-Industrial Exhibition.

2021

In 2021, Starwood began actively supporting initiatives that promote ecological development and sustainable business. That year, we participated in the Ukrainian President's "Green Country" program, planting 50 trees in the Sokolivska Territorial Community. Among the planted trees were 8 linden, 15 birch, and 27 oak—all contributing to a greener future.

Additionally, we became a member of the Dnipro Chamber of Commerce and Industry, reinforcing our commitment to developing the local business environment and enhancing our processes and partnerships.

Three years after our founding, Starwood became a registered trademark. At that time, we made many exciting decisions, driven by inspiration rather than caution. Our production space expanded to 300 m², where we focused on crafting tables from natural wood, metal, and epoxy resin.

Throughout, we remained committed to growth in the local market. Building long-term, trusting relationships with our partners, bringing joy through the use of our products, and ensuring hassle-free maintenance have always been and continue to be priorities for our brand. Alongside our PR activities, we continuously worked to improve the quality of Starwood tables.

Since 2022, our company has actively invested in expanding our production capacity, growing to 800 m² and introducing new materials, such as HPL on an MDF base, which has significantly improved product quality. Participation in various exhibitions and business tours, including the Furniture & Design Isle in Latvia, Meble Polska in Poland, and MOW in Germany, has contributed to expanding our network of partners.

Engagement in training programs focused on building organizational structures and business development has enabled Starwood to create a product that meets the expectations of the HoReCa market and corporate sector in Ukraine. Since 2023, our production has 12 representative offices across Ukraine and over 10 completed projects within the HoReCa sector.

Starwood continues to invest in the development of our specialists and the implementation of cutting-edge technologies to ensure a high standard of completed projects and strengthen the brand's position in the international market.

Our brand is chosen by those who value natural materials, durability, and aesthetics in every detail.
