Our Story
About The WoodTeller
Where every piece of wood becomes a story worth telling.
The Maker
Paris
Oikonomou
Some people see wood as a material. I see it as a story waiting to be revealed. I’m Paris Oikonomou, the maker behind The WoodTeller — a small workshop dedicated to crafting solid wood furniture and objects that celebrate the beauty of natural materials.
Every piece of wood carries the marks of time: grain patterns, cracks, knots and imperfections shaped by years of growth. Rather than hiding these characteristics, my work aims to highlight them. The process is slow and intentional. Each piece is handcrafted, allowing the material itself to guide the final form. Inspired by Mediterranean landscapes, natural textures and minimalist design, The WoodTeller creates furniture that feels grounded, honest and timeless.
No two pieces are ever the same — because no two pieces of wood share the same story. Through my work, I simply help the wood tell it.
