"Our story unfolds with a shared dream between friends,
Benita Blom Kotze & Jacques Müller."

Fuelled by a passion to rejuvenate an old gem and their  commitment to community upliftment, the dynamic duo embarked on a transformative journey in October 2021. Their destination? Discover the newly expanded “Eagle Hout Padstal,” a cherished business in the heart of Bedford with over 30 years of rich history in Benita’s family.

Committed to breathing new life into the old, they ushered in a wave of change, not just in the management but also in the very essence of the establishment. A meticulous reimagining of both interior an exterior spaces, once a historical factory, now stands as a testament to their creative vision.

Undergoing a name change to align with the fresh energy and innovative spirit, De Oude Fabreeck emerges as  more than just a place; its an experience. Beyond its historic walls, de Oude Fabreeck houses a restaurant, nursery and farmstall.

At the core, we specialise in crafting solid wooden furniture, each piece a testament to our dedication to quality and craftsmanship. Our offer extends beyond furniture to a curated selection of home décor items and plants, each chosen to add a touch of elegance to your home, office or garden.
