Future collection
ORIGINS
Rare woods, provenance and expressive material depth.

Natural woods, direct tactility and quiet restraint.
NATURA remains reserved for work centred on honest surfaces, selected woods and a calmer material language.
Future collection
FORMA
Blackened surfaces, sculptural stillness and stronger forms.
FORMA remains the intended home for the more sculptural LIGNORAE language, including carbonised surfaces and reduced silhouettes.
