About us
Come in quick! You can leave the door open...
Welcome to the Pomp House!
My name is Simona and I work together with my father and brother in our woodworking studio in Sofia Bulgaria.
For more than thirty years, our workshop has been engaged in manufacturing all kinds of products, architectural elements and furniture from wood and wood materials.
A few years ago the idea to create jewelry out of wood came out. We started with lathed components, bracelets and pendants. Soon after, the idea developed ... In the dusty shelves of the workshop were lying, forgotten wads of veneer sheets. We created a technology that allows you to combine the impression hidden in wood textures and logic of free space forms. As we were diving deeper I started finding endless possibilities designing Nature-resembling products. I fall in love with the idea that in wood texture, grain and pattern one can somehow read the story of this particular tree, Like it's written in a book and we are creating objects from its pages, so that we can touch the story..feel its charge..
My inspiration has always been Mother Nature... its deepest wisdom, its pathless ways, its strength and heart and never ending journeys..
Dexterous, skillful and extremely talented, she endows us with something more valuable than all human affairs .... - its fabulous beauty ...

Our Values
In our work, we strive to design and create objects that convey a sense of warmth and life.
We greatly value the gifts of Mother Nature and aim to use our resources sparingly. Thanks to the thinness of the veneer sheets and the nature of the technology we use, we have the opportunity to achieve a very high yield, realizing about 95% of the material, compared to 40% when working with solid wood. We repurpose our waste for new designs, labels, and branding. With this, we aim to minimize waste and environmental impact.
In a the hectic modernity of our nowadays, we want to stay human, and work for humanity.
Our work is the result of years of experience, established traditions and a modern outlook. We create our products by hand, with a little help from some electric tools, meaning every piece is a unique one.
