Wood as a Medium
Wood expresses form, surface, color, figure, ...and utility.
Form
We sculpt wood into line and form and contour—animating light and shadow—pleasing the eye with proportion, balance, and harmony. A truly comfortable chair expresses a human form in negative. It calls. Invites.
Surface
Touch is at the root of sensibility. To enliven our furniture, we shape, we sand, we polish. There is a tactile and emotional difference between the feel of a wooden surface, sculpted and polished, and any other material.
Color
The woods we use are prized for their texture and color. They provide a palette.
Figure
The growth rings of a tree are displayed on the face of wood as lines and patterns. We select and cut to create a coherent composition of figure within each piece of furniture.
Utility
