Creator
Emmy Sandt is a Hong Kong–based woodworker, furniture restorer, and the founder of Emmy Sandt Studios. Drawing from a background in technical theatre, Sandt established her studio to focus on bespoke furniture design and meticulous historic restoration, transforming raw timber and worn heirlooms into enduring, functional art.
At Emmy Sandt Studios, she combines traditional joinery with sustainable sourcing, offering clients custom commission work and expert conservation that honours structural integrity and natural grain. Every piece reflects her deep reverence for timber, precision engineering, and the unique stories embedded in aged wood.
Beyond her primary studio practice, Sandt is the co-founder of A Collective Space, a multidisciplinary design and wellness initiative based in Mui Wo. There, she leads community woodworking workshops and vocational training.
Through both her custom commissions and community outreach, Sandt elevates the craft of woodworking, uniting heritage craft, historical preservation, and active creative leadership.
