Gute means “good” and is the cornerstone of our design philosophy.

At Güte, we build affordable,
stylish, custom furniture, and small spaces are our specialty.

Our workshop is located in Leaside, Toronto.

2016: Güte began building delightful, small, permit free structures.

Shepherd Huts. Cabins. Bunkies.

From day one, we focused on building artistic yet functional spaces that met three criteria. They had to:

Be made to last.
Create joy with their unique, artful design.
Offer great value for money.

As a result, we’re beyond proud that our work has been featured in countless design magazines and websites, and we have dozens of happy customers enjoying our products across Ontario and beyond.

Today: Güte focuses on creating unique furniture, staying true to our original principles.

Storage Solutions.
Desks & Dining Tables.
Mirrors & Picture Frames.

Building clever furniture for our small structures pushed our design and construction process to higher levels. We’ve learned how to:

maximize space & design exceptionally functional pieces
develop efficient building techniques to save the customer money

If you have a project in mind, and like our style, there’s a good chance we can create something that you’ll love to use and that will put a smile on your face.

FAQ

We do a very small number each year as it’s no longer our main focus. But we still have a passion for these types of projects.

Cabins start at $14,000. Complete Shepherd Huts start at $48,000.
Yes and no. Some custom projects utilize premium materials and have complex designs which can increase the price substantially. Often though, we’re able to find a solution which balances cost, beauty and functionality. We emphasize a classic and clean aesthetic, and discuss the pros and cons of different materials. Above all, we ensure that the end products are durable. We like to think of ourselves as the middle ground between [] and Ikea.
We love building high quality items that people use daily, and ensuring that these products are both beautiful and, above all, well-designed. Our products are meant to be user-friendly and bring joy, instead of frustration. Think of a shelving unit that fits your intended space precisely and is tailored to hold the exact items you expect to store. A place for everything and everything in its place.
We are most inspired by Scandinavian style furniture, as well as some Shaker style designs.
