Philosophy
We design based on principles as universal as possible, producing objects without “style,” that are real and utilitarian. The subtlety of the evolvement of the finest materials shaped with intense skill can produce a basic sensitivity.
In a world where manual skills are shunned we believe in them, not only in the act of producing a better product, but in the sheer joy of doing or becoming. We feel that pride in craftsmanship, of doing as perfect a job as possible, of producing something of beauty, even out of nature’s discards.

“The woodworker has a special intensity, a striving for perfection, a conviction that any task must be executed with all his skill…to create the best object he is capable of creating.”

Design and Engineering
We are left in awe by the nobility of a tree, expressed in its eternal patience, resilience, and creations of fabulous beauty. We feed on its fruits and take shelter beneath its branches. We use its timber for our houses, its boards for our furniture. Through us, the tree lives on.
