About Us

“When my grandfather began making precision crafted furniture in 1904, he was guided by one simple and powerful force; furniture making is more than just a job, it is a passion. This passion remains today. My grandfather and uncle were furniture makers and as they say in West Cork, ‘it's in the blood.’ Aodh O’Donnell, my son, works with me. Four generations of furniture making. It’s some history. I remember the grandfather caressing a piece of wood. I remember the magic. He wouldn’t recognise the business today. The technology, the new materials, the techniques, but if he saw his great-grandson caressing a piece of wood, he would understand the magic is still there.”

You know how important it is.

In choosing a furniture manufacturer, you make all kinds of decisions; sensitive decisions about style and aesthetics, technical decisions about specifications and durability, peace of mind decisions about capacity to produce and ability to manage the project.

So do we.

In business since the mid-1970’s, O’Donnell Furniture Makers began by producing pine furniture for the local domestic market. We are proud of our reputation for innovation and flexibility and have evolved to become one of the leading manufacturers of contract furniture. ‘Leading’ because we understand our customers’ needs and deliver on our promises. We specialise in hotel furniture.
