There’s something special about owning a piece of furniture that’s not only crafted with care but also made right here in Barbados. When you shop for local handmade furniture, you’re not just getting a chair or a table – you’re getting a connection to the island’s rich tradition of craftsmanship, and a commitment to sustainability. Whether it’s an intricately designed outdoor chair, a hammock stand perfect for relaxing in the tropical breeze, or custom pieces tailored to your needs, the benefits of shopping local are endless.
My journey into furniture making began with a love for transforming raw materials into something functional and beautiful. I started experimenting with woodworking, and soon, my passion grew into a full-fledged business here in Barbados. I’ve noticed that many people are searching for specific items like outdoor furniture that can withstand the Caribbean climate, sturdy hammock stands, and unique chairs for patios or living spaces. As a local craftswoman, I am deeply in tune with these needs and make sure every piece is built to last in our unique environment.
When you choose rjmclean, you’re not only selecting style and sustainability but also ensuring that your piece is customized to fit your unique lifestyle. Each bench, lamp, table or chair tells a story—like my most recent casuarina wood bench or standing floor lamp, labors of love inspired by the very landscape around us. By buying local, you’re embracing both quality and creativity, while making a positive impact on the environment and the community.
