Key Background:
Stockton-based Wood Connexions, a successful wood flooring company, is now expanding into commercial and residential interior design. They offer bespoke furniture, Persian rugs, and other unique home décor items.
The company was founded by husband-and-wife team Steph and James Zielke and started as a flooring manufacturer in Poland. After setting up a distribution arm and returning to Teesside in 2019, the couple expanded the business to offer a wider interior design service, combining their expertise in high-quality wood flooring with distinctive furniture and soft furnishings.
The company is hosting a special celebration event at its Stockton showroom on Orde Wingate Way on Friday, 17th October from 5 pm. Architects, interior designers, property developers, builders, and homeowners are invited to explore the company’s evolving offerings and meet the team behind the brand.
Steph Zielke expressed her excitement about the expansion: “We now offer a seamless blend of high-quality furniture, flooring, and soft furnishings. “Our goal is to create completely bespoke spaces, where no two pieces are alike. “We’re excited to bring our designs to homes and businesses everywhere.”
Over the past 20 years, Wood Connexions has grown, working in international markets and facing challenges like the Covid-19 pandemic. After gaining recognition in the US, the company has built strong connections in the UK and is known for quality craftsmanship and creative design.
James and Steph use reclaimed wood and natural materials to make each piece of furniture unique. “We’ve moved from an industrial business to a more refined approach, offering exciting design options for our customers,” Steph said.
With a growing team of ten skilled staff, the company is proud to contribute to the local economy while strengthening its position in the interior design sector. Steph, a Teesside native, added, “Success is about surrounding yourself with people who challenge and support you. We’re delighted to be back home, growing our business and creating unique spaces for our clients.”
Wood Connexions’ expansion reflects a growing trend of businesses combining traditional craftsmanship with modern design, offering clients a fully personalized approach to interior décor and design.
