There is something about the feel of wood, and that is a connection that Uwe Stange has never neglected. He is the epitome of a hands on businessman, examining every plank that enters his premises. It may be fashionable to agree, but that does not change the timeless connection that wood engenders with both environment and history.
“No matter how you source your wood, no matter at what stage you engage with the material, wood still speaks to you as a living thing,” says Uwe, the founder
and master craftsman behind Stange Kraft.
Uwe’s origins, like so many in Scotland’s thriving Livingston new town, just outside Edinburgh, his roots are from elsewhere. No family heritage for him in Lanarkshire or Glasgow, like so many of his neighbours. Uwe is from a little further afield, reaching West Lothian from Germany, by way of Namibia and then later South Africa.
Stange Kraft is based in West Lothian, Scotland but we are more than happy to work through-out the United Kingdom.
Right from the raw materials, we’re constantly checking a whole host of parameters. Sure, it’s possible to make comparisons here, between this workshop and an artist’s studio, but there are no discarded canvases hiding in the back room.
Everything commissioned is everything we build. There’s no waste.” We’re not producing lifestyle choices, we’re crafting lifetime choices. The pieces we make here are invariably part of the fabric of the home, and they’ll be there as long as the building exists, almost without exception.” Fit for a president, in fact.
There are already a privileged handful, who are proud to show off their Stange Kraft originals, and ebullient enough to share the secret too. We are, if you like, the antidote of flat pack, pre-packaged standardisation. Stange Kraft is no sapling business, as Uwe has honed his craftsmanship in a previous enterprise, Universal Joiners.

Our bedroom furniture seemed to give us less room when we recently moved into our new house. A friend said that perhaps bespoke furniture could be the answer and she suggested we got in touch with Uwe at Stange Kraft. He listened to what we were looking for and then produced easy-to-follow drawings. He proposed replacing two wardrobes by one large floor to ceiling built-in unit and providing a chest of large drawers, along with two sensibly (big!) sized bedside cabinets. He kept us fully informed on progress right up to arriving for the installation. Everything fitted into the room exactly which made it feel bigger than before. in particular we were impressed by the craftsmanship of his team and the attention to detail. It’s great to have such smooth-running drawers and doors. We would have no hesitation in recommending Stange Kraft.

Absolutely brilliant job. Uwe was great from beginning to end. It was a really easy process and the quality of the finished work is superb. I’d use them all the time.

We were delighted with the work that Stange Kraft did for us, two large wardrobes were rebuilt to create a corner wardrobe and still retain the same amount of space that we previously had. They then built storage cupboards to fit above the wardrobes, managed to get the wood to match and it looks like one original unit. My wife wasn't so sure that it would work however she was delighted with the finished product and the price that we paid for the work. We highly recommend Stange Kraft for quality workmanship, attention to detail, keeping any mess to a minimum and tidying up afterwards.

I have visited the workshop and found him to be highly skilled in woodwork
and design. He takes great care to work accurate and has pride in his
work and finished product. Have seen many of his creations in wood and I am very impressed with his skill and workmanship.

I have seen and photographed a lot of Uwe's work. It is of the absolute highest standard from wooden conservatories to kitchens to carvings and wardrobes etc. He is a guy that has the highest eye for detail and he even makes curved kitchen cabinet doors!
Hire Uwe at Stange Kraft and you will never need to get a new kitchen ever again!

I was looking for some bespoke handmade bookshelves that were to be a feature in out drawing room. Dealing with Uwe and his team was an excellent experience, with the work being completed in a timely manner. His attention to detail was excellent, and produced a period bookshelf that could have been in the house 200 years.
