Philosophy

The objects take shape through a practice where material, time and use are closely connected. The philosophy is not rooted in fixed rules, but in attentiveness to the process and a respect for what is already there. Each choice becomes part of a whole shaped by presence, tactility and intuition.

The Voice of the Material

The material is a collaborator. Forms emerge through a dialogue with the wood. They are not driven by control, but by attentiveness and response.

The wood tells its own story through grain patterns, knots, and traces of branches it once carried. Every mark reflects the conditions the tree has lived through.

Naturally Imperfect

Inspired by the Japanese philosophy of wabi-wabi, where beauty is found in the imperfect, incomplete and ever-changing. Knots and cracks are not seen as flaws, but as qualities that make each object unique.

The objects carry traces of the process. A mark left by a tool, a slight asymmetry, a living edge. A bowl that tilts slightly becomes part of its character.

Slowness

The process is often slow, allowing craftsmanship, intuition and time to shape the direction of the work. Many of the objects are made from green wood, where drying, movement and waiting become part of the process. The objects take form at their own pace.

Origin of the Material

The wood is sourced locally or from materials that have already lived another life. Some objects are created from remnants that might otherwise have been discarded.

None of the objects are made from trees felled specifically for their creation.

 

 

Presence

The objects are made to be used. Through repetition, they find their place in everyday life. Over time, a relationship emerges, where touch, wear and patina connect the object more closely to the person using it.
