How a piece is made

4 steps

  1. 01

    Choose and cut the wood

    We pick timber by hand at the sawmill and let it rest in the workshop for a week before we cut it.

    Join and shape the parts

    Joints are glued and pegged.

    Samples of oak, ash, brass, travertine and linen laid out together.
  3. 03

    Finish the surface

    Wood is oiled or stained, steel is powder-coated, and linen and bouclé are cut and sewn in the same building.

    Linen and bouclé fabric laid side by side, seen from above.

    Check and pack
