ARTISANAL WOOD DECOR CO.

HOW IT STARTED

Hi, I'm Jenny! boskk was first started in a suburb of Chicago about a year ago but transitioned to DC as I moved there for my career. Working from home due to COVID has given me the opportunity to go back and forth to Chicago much more this past year allowing me to quickly develop even more new products. I am lucky to be able to build a community on the East Coast and in the Midwest. Although I will be primarily producing my products in Chicago now, my ties to DC are still very strong as I continue to be part of the community in the District.

boskk comes from the word bosk /bäsk/ (noun):  meaning a little thicket or small wooded area. 

MORE THAN JUST A PRODUCT

boskk creates handcrafted, modern and functional design pieces that bring simplicity and luxury to any area of your home. Individuality and uniqueness are found in each handcrafted item you will not find anywhere else.

​

boskk is dedicated to creating more than just a product. It is a sustainable brand focused on emphasizing the ideals of each individual and helping to create timeless moments.

​

I knew that wooden home decor could be different than what is seen from large retail companies that make their products in factories. It can be made by hand from a local artisan to showcase the wood's natural beauty.

​

Because of this, I wanted to create my own artisanal wood decor brand and I'm proud to be making products that will last forever. You know your product is handcrafted with care when you have boskk's logo engraved in your piece. 

LOCAL & GLOBAL

Every piece of wood used to make one of boskk's pieces is hand selected by me at local wood shops in the Chicagoland area. These wood shops source their wood from within the United States as well as across the globe. This allows boskk to provide the perfect cohesion of local and global. 

boskk will donate a portion of every item sold to Little Black Pearl, a nonprofit empowering youth on Chicago's south side to envision their future through art and entrepreneurship. It helps fight the challenges that urban youth face while providing a safe space to express their ideas and feelings creatively.
