The idea for OnWood wooden height charts grew when our first born, Georgie, stood up and began to grow. It’s no old chestnut – like many families, when we were growing up, the average kiwi family practically lived in the same house and as tradition would have it, someone special would regularly mark our heights on a doorway.
We wanted this same tradition for our children, and other families from every corner of NZ and the rest of the world. The OnWood wooden height charts were born. While preserving family memories was the essence of the project, we soon found ourselves embracing the concept of preservation and sustainability into the mission of the business. This began when sourcing beautiful reclaimed native timber, and is incorporated into the paint used, the production processes and the packaging.
“We just love the natural look of wood and these height charts add a bit of the natural wood to our home. It has been gorgeously restored and has the added bonus of being able to be moved if we ever move house. What a great idea and beautifully made!!”
