Wood as a Medium
Wood expresses and provides 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
