The fork was only the beginning ....
Drawing from previous experience with manufacturing, our founder Josef and his team spent several years looking for a solution. In 2018, they discovered how to bind wood flour to natural substances. Ta-da! That is how our iconic fork was born. As time has passed, we have grown, and in 2019, we founded Refork. Our workshop evolved into a state-of-the-art factory in Prague. We honed our material, thus enhancing our product and manufacturing line. As a result, the fork evolved into a cutlery set.
