JAVORINA, a leading manufacturer of premium solid oak furniture with a tradition dating back to 1947, has announced the launch of a new export brand BEOAK, designed for Western European markets. This strategic step represents a significant milestone in the company's nearly eighty-year history and reflects the brand's ambitions to expand into international markets with values such as quality, sustainability, and an innovative approach to the design and processing of solid oak.
In the Slovak and Czech markets, the company will continue to operate under the established JAVORINA brand, which has a strong tradition and recognition in the region. BEOAK brings the best of tradition, expertise, and craftsmanship of an experienced manufacturer. Just like JAVORINA, it clearly communicates the essence of the products — premium furniture made exclusively from oak wood. The name BEOAK (Be oak) carries a philosophy where "being oak" symbolizes strength, resilience, and timeless natural beauty characteristic of the company's products.
Creating the BEOAK brand is a natural step in our long-term growth plan. After significant investments in expanding production capacities and technologies, we are ready to address demanding customers in Western markets. We found that the name JAVORINA can be confusing, difficult to pronounce and remember for an international audience. BEOAK clearly communicates our specialization in solid oak, which is considered a royal discipline in the furniture industry,
The first new territory to welcome the BEOAK brand is Austria. In March 2025, the company will open the first BEOAK showroom in Vienna in cooperation with local partner GUUT. Switzerland will follow. In these countries, products will begin to be sold under the new brand from March 2025. The opening of the showroom in Vienna is, alongside the launch of online sales, the first concrete step in the expansion strategy.
Innovation, Awards, and Sustainability
BEOAK builds on the philosophy that JAVORINA has embraced for decades: a holistic approach to production, long-term sustainability, and respect for natural materials. The brand emphasizes innovation in oak wood processing, uses the most modern technologies, and collaborates with leading designers from Slovakia, the Czech Republic, and abroad.
BEOAK and JAVORINA are sister brands that will exist in parallel with the same product portfolio and similar communication strategy. This approach will allow us to address different markets in a way that best resonates with local customers, while maintaining the consistent values and quality that are key to us. The new brand provides us with an opportunity to communicate our specialization in solid oak more effectively in international markets and clearly differentiate ourselves from the competition. While JAVORINA has a solid place and rich history in the domestic market, BEOAK is a brand created with a global perspective and the needs of the international customer in mind.
The exceptional design and craftsmanship of the products are also evidenced by significant awards the company received last year. JAVORINA products were honored with three prestigious international design awards, including the German Design Award and the Big See Award. The company also launched several innovative products, including the unique SANA modular home exercise system by designer Tomáš Král and the sophisticated Y armchair by renowned Czech designer Lucie Koldová.
