The Atelier
Where the
work is done.
Manifesto
One roof.
One signature.
We don't subcontract. Design happens at one bench, joinery at the next, finishing in the booth at the back. The piece you receive has been carried, twice, by everyone who made it.
Wood is not a finish. It's the structure, the surface, the conversation. We choose African walnut, white oak and iroko because they reward patience and tell a long story.
— The studio, written on a Tuesday.
From log to room
Four chapters, in order.
The bole arrives
Logs come in raw. We mill on site, sticker the boards, and let them rest. Some sit for two years before a tool ever touches them.
The drawing decides
Every piece begins on paper, full scale. Joinery is drawn before it is cut. If it doesn't read on paper, it won't read in oak.
The hand corrects
Machines rough the part. The hand finishes it. A planer can be perfect; only a person can be right.
The oil reveals
Hand-rubbed oils, three coats, twelve hours apart. The grain stops being decoration and becomes the room.
