Manufactum hand brush horsehair

The extremely angled position of the dense bristles - only pure horsehair is used here - enables thorough sweeping right into the furthest corners and nooks.

The craft of brush-making has evolved over the centuries. With great skill, tools were developed to deal with differentiated tasks and materials. Nowadays, out of the blue, it seems there is next to nothing left of all this. We are trying to halt the loss a little by offering you a range of proper brushes and brooms for all types of work in and around your house. Each filling – you will come across quite several familiar natural materials – has been carefully chosen, since filling materials of brushes and brooms have to meet very different challenges. Depending on whether they are designed to scrub, brush, sweep, polish or paint, there is a suitable plant and animal filling. However, finding one of these specialized tools for household use has become a sheer impossible task.

We consider it our job to provide remedy. With our brush makers (a not-so-booming industry), we've developed some household brooms and brushes with that cheerful motto in mind. From the shape of the brush body to the choice of wood and the bristle materials, from techniques how to fasten them to the choice of materials and forms for grommets – the key question was: What has to be done to improve brooms and brushes? See what we came up with.
