Our story begins with two families, the Barakzai and Ahmadzai, who have always shared a deep connection to craftsmanship, heritage, and the love of natural beauty. Growing up surrounded by rich traditions, both families developed a passion for working with wood, creating things that weren’t just functional, but also meaningful and beautiful.

The idea for Earth & Elm was born from this shared history and the desire to build something lasting. As the Barakzai and Ahmadzai families, we wanted to combine our skills, values, and love for nature to create a furniture business that reflected our roots. We dreamed of crafting pieces that not only enhanced homes but also brought a sense of warmth, sustainability, and character to every space.

The name 'Earth & Elm' is a tribute to the natural world we cherish. 'Earth' represents our commitment to sustainability and respect for nature, while 'Elm' honors the timeless strength and beauty of the wood we work with. Together, we’ve built Earth & Elm into more than just a furniture shop — it’s a reflection of our shared vision to bring people closer to the earth, one piece at a time.
