Every object begins as a question about how it will be used. We draw it, cut it, dye it and finish it by hand, then carry it long enough to know whether the answer held. What survives that becomes a study.

Studies

Each object is worked until it holds. Two are underway; the first arrives this fall.

Materials

Materials matter.

We use natural materials because they age honestly. Leather, wood, metal and felt — chosen for their character, not their perfection.

Our materials
White oak and bronze, edge to edge
Process

Built by hand.

Care, time and repetition turn good materials into lasting objects. Small details make a big difference.
