Defined by Design

  • Make a lasting purchase. Consumer culture drives cheaply, mass produced, lifeless products that more often than not end up in a land fill. Break the cycle while investing in a lifelong piece.

  • If it does not serve its purpose, it does not serve. A heightened attention to function goes into every design.

  • Refining a design down to its simplest form lends itself to sophistication

Fine things in wood are important, not only aesthetically, as oddities or rarities, but because we are becoming aware of the fact that much of our life is spent buying and discarding, and buying again, things that are not good. Some of us long to have at least something, somewhere, which will give us harmony and a sense of durability—I won’t say permanence, but durability—things that, through the years, become more and more beautiful, things we can leave to our children.
