Make better.

The Mångata mark on the underside of a board, beside a fin and an oxblood inlay line.

The philosophy

Wood has already lived a life.

We don't want to hide that character. We build around it, celebrating grain, imperfections, movement and the marks that make every piece different.

Close view of a board's tail and fins, the grain of the timber and two oxblood lines curving along the rails.

Built from the inside out

See every piece

Sam stands on the beach in a winter jacket, smiling, with one of his wooden boards resting in front of him.

Sam

Mångata is Sam. He designs every piece, chooses the timber and builds everything himself. When he isn't at the bench, he's in the water.
