When Standard Doesn’t Cut It

What Special Constructions Mean at Hatoo

At Hatoo, “special constructions” refers to custom-engineered wooden structures that go beyond conventional forms, joining methods, or material limitations.

These are projects that challenge geometry, invent new assembly logics, and blur the line between furniture and installation. If you can imagine it, we can build it—with structural integrity and aesthetic clarity.

From oversized cantilevered desks to asymmetrical modular shelves, our special constructions are designed in collaboration with architects, product designers, and demanding clients who need more than catalog options.

Each piece starts with a creative challenge: unusual shapes, weight distribution problems, limited access spaces, hidden supports, or unconventional finishes. We solve those challenges using a blend of woodworking intelligence, digital fabrication, and material innovation.

We combine techniques such as high-frequency bonding, CNC milling, kerf-bending, dowel-reinforced joinery, and tension-lock systems—depending on the demands of the design.

This allows us to fabricate:

  1. floating furniture with no visible brackets
  2. integrated lighting within solid wood
  3. moving parts and kinetic wood surfaces
  4. asymmetrical load-bearing installations

Whether your vision requires curved beams, concealed fasteners, split-level assemblies or embedded elements, Hatoo’s workshop becomes your sandbox for structural exploration.

Engineering Creativity

The Hatoo Approach

The foundation of our special constructions lies in digital design strategy fused with physical material logic.

Our team treats every custom request as a unique structural problem, solving it through iterative design thinking, real-time prototyping, and precise fabrication.

We start by translating your design into a parametric model—mapping forces, angles, tolerances, and assembly points. We then prototype critical joints, test assembly logic, and optimize for minimal fasteners or glue. This process ensures that each special piece we produce is not only visually striking but mechanically sound.

We don’t work from templates. Every joint is drawn anew. Every tolerance is calculated for the specific humidity, movement, and load expected in its environment. Our team handles not just fabrication, but also structural analysis, material sourcing, custom finishes, and installation planning.

The result is a truly custom-built furniture or structure that reflects both the designer’s vision and the physical reality it must inhabit.
This is where form meets function with no compromise.


 

Who It’s For – Architects, Designers, Visionaries

Special constructions are not for everyone.
They’re for creators who want to make a statement—who demand more than standard options and need technical partners who can deliver precision on unusual terms.

We work closely with:

  1. Interior architects designing statement elements

  2. Product designers creating functional art pieces

  3. Retail and hospitality brands seeking unique customer experiences

  4. Artists and spatial designers pushing formal boundaries

At Hatoo, we respect the creative process.
We’re here to say “yes” to what others dismiss as impossible.
With our workshop and team, your most daring wood concept becomes a precise, buildable reality.

Let’s Build the Impossible

If you have a concept that defies standard furniture logic or an installation that calls for innovation in wood, Hatoo is your partner in exploration.

Bring us a sketch, a 3D model, a question—our team will help translate it into a real, functional, beautiful object.

We are based in Greece and work internationally with creatives and brands who trust us to push materials and ideas further.

Whether you’re prototyping a new product or outfitting an entire space with bespoke solutions, we offer precision fabrication, collaborative development, and installation-ready delivery.

Reach out today and let’s design beyond the standard.
