Design Options & Inspirations...
River Tables
River tables use "live edge" wood, which preserves the natural, organic perimeter of a tree rather than being cut into straight lines. The Resin "River" is a high-quality epoxy resin that is poured into spaces in a wood slab. This resin can be crystal clear, tinted or mixed with metallic pigments for a dramatic effect. These tables are one of a kind as no two pieces of wood have the same grain or edge contours.
Resin Tables
Resin tables, often referred to as epoxy resin tables, are a modern category of furniture that fuses natural materials like wood, metal, or stone with a synthetic liquid polymer that hardens into a durable, glass-like surface. These tables are highly valued as functional art pieces because each one is typically a one-of-a-kind creation.
Live Edge Tables
Live edge tables are unique furniture pieces that incorporate the natural, raw edge of a tree trunk, rather than sawing it into a straight, finished line. They highlight the wood's organic, "imperfect" beauty; such as grain patterns and knots often using solid, sustainably sourced wood to create a one-of-a-kind statement furniture piece.
Clocks
Truly unique and original craftsmanship; wooden clock designs center on blending the natural, organic warmth of wood with functional timekeeping, acting as both a practical tool and a statement piece of art. This approach emphasises timeless elegance, craftsmanship, and a connection to nature, offering a calming, and often nostalgic alternative to modern digital devices.
Our Design philosophy...
Our design philosophy is rooted in biophilic design...The desire to bring natural, organic elements into modern living spaces, bridging the gap between raw nature and contemporary refinement. This philosphy celebrates "perfect imperfection," treating original, non-manufactured edges, knots, and voids as art rather than defects.
