This product was designed for one of our architecture projects as a part of the larger collection. The collection began with something familiar. Teak and brass are not new to us. They are staples, materials we have returned to again. But every now and then, it becomes important to look at staples differently. To take take what is known and disturb it slightly. To ask. what happens if an ornament is removed? What if the structure becomes the aesthetic?

This is an experiement in restraint and re-seeing.

Teak and brass – left honest.

No welding. No concealment.

Only a skeletal system of joinery, tightened together with Allen keys. Every connection visible. Every decision structural.

The brass does not decorate, it binds, pivots, anchors. The teak is gently contoured for the body, its brushed grain absorbing light against the quiet sheen of metal. What is usually hidden inside furniture- the spine, the tension, the mechanics is brought forward and made intentional.
