Between weight and lightness, motion and poise. We make furniture, lighting, and objects that are not only functional, but spatial, architectural in their presence.

 

Our collaboration began intuitively. From a simple three-line sketch, a lamp was realised in a single night. That first prototype was immediately displayed to the public and received strong interest, setting the tone for how we work: direct, responsive, and guided by curiosity. Since then, our practice has expanded across materials and typologies, while maintaining a shared language rooted between precision and playfulness.

 

Materials are never neutral. We are drawn to what already carries time. Reclaiming wood marked by use or origin. Each piece is shaped by hand, guided as much by intuition as by drawing. We work with the given qualities of a material, its grain, irregularities, traces, and variations. Allowing them to inform proportion, joinery, and expression. In this way, the material is not forced into an ideal, but met where it is.

 

With backgrounds in landscape and architecture, we approach furniture as an extension of space. We think in terms of balance, gravity, and pause; how something stands, how it leans, how it fill a room without insisting on it.

 

Our ambition is to create objects that last - not only through careful construction, but through a timeless aesthetic. Our work process is as circular as possible, with a made-to-order approach that prioritises materials and breath second life into what already exists. Longevity, for us, is not about permanence, but about quiet persistence.

 

We design pieces that are loved, passed on and live on; holding stories across time without losing themselves.
