Selection
01
A palette, not a finish.
Ash, oak, walnut, teak, ebony — chosen for how they behave under morning light and lamp light, not for how they sample in a brochure.
Material N° 02
Timber
Grain treated as quiet architecture, not decoration.
Twelve species, patient and slow, ordered from lightest to deepest. Each block a private hour of the day.
Assembly
02
Joinery that hides itself.
Panels are drawn from the same log and book-matched, so a doorway, a wardrobe, and a ceiling can share one continuous grain across three rooms.
Care
03
Oiled, never lacquered.
The surface is fed rather than sealed. Time is welcome here — the timber deepens rather than dulls, as with a leather-bound book.
