About VetaFuturo

THE STORY BEHIND VETAFUTURO

VetaFuturo started with a simple idea: to make things from wood that have a purpose and are made to last.

I’m Marcos, and I design and make furniture, objects and one-off pieces from my workshop in Maidstone, Kent.

I’ve always enjoyed making things, solving practical problems and working with my hands. Over time, woodworking became more than a hobby. It became a way of creating something slower, more thoughtful and more personal.

The name VetaFuturo comes from two Spanish words: veta, meaning grain, and futuro, meaning future. For me, it’s about respecting the character of the wood and imagining what it could become.

WHY I MAKE

For me, woodworking is about more than making furniture. There is something about working with my hands, slowing down and turning a simple piece of wood into something useful that gives me a sense of balance. It creates a space where I can think, reconnect with myself and enjoy the simple satisfaction of making something real.

VetaFuturo is also part of a bigger change in the way I want to live — with more time for the things that matter, more connection with nature and a little less rush. I’m still figuring out exactly where that journey will lead, but making things has become an important part of it.

And perhaps that is why reclaimed wood matters to me too. I like the idea that something doesn’t have to be new to have value. Old timber, an unwanted piece of furniture or wood that might otherwise be thrown away can still become something beautiful and useful. Sometimes a different future starts with seeing new possibilities in what we already have.

HAVE SOMETHING IN MIND?

If you have an idea, a piece of wood, or simply something you'd like to explore, I'd be happy to hear about it.
