My story
My name is Joséphine van Wijck. I was born and raised in The Netherlands, but moved to Curaçao, an island in the lower Caribbean, 25 years ago. After 12 years of combining a busy job in the commercial dive industry with being a full time mom of 4 teenagers, I was ready for a new challenge, which would give me more flexibility and allowed for more creativity.
My story with wood started on a family trip to Costa Rica, where we fell in love with tropical hard wood the country has to offer. Thus the idea of of making live edge furniture was born.
Since that first trip I have establish good contacts with trustworthy suppliers, who are as committed to the environment as I am. Consequently, I have a guaranteed sustainably sourced and constant supply of exotic hardwoods. Dedication to my customers and an “everything is possible” mentality has made Wood 66 to where it is today.
