Hout&Stout is a Dutch brand creating handcrafted wooden toys designed to combine lasting play with practical, attractive storage. Based in Gemert, the brand makes its products in a workshop, drawing on a family story: the founder’s father built a wooden construction-toy box that remained in use for years. That inspiration shapes Hout&Stout’s focus on craftsmanship, timeless design, and durability.

The range centres on wooden stacking planks made from Ayous, a lightweight wood described by the brand as naturally splinter-free. The planks are carefully cut and checked by hand, then paired with sturdy boxes that can be displayed in the home rather than tucked away after play. Children can use the pieces for open-ended building and creative construction, while the box serves as a piece of furniture and storage.

Products include a luxury box with 150 planks, a deluxe box with 500 planks, and a separate set of 100 planks. Hout&Stout presents its toys as durable creations intended to be enjoyed and passed on to future generations.
