Despite its modest size, this project allowed us an opportunity to explore the tactile beauty and expressive potential of solid teak wood. The pair of bespoke furniture pieces, created for the client's family living space, honours material craftsmanship, balance and timeless design.

Each plank of teak was carefully selected after evaluating color tone and grain pattern. Multiple polish samples were tested before finalising the finish that best revealed the wood’s natural depth and striking texture. The medium-dark toned teak is contrasted with the woven rattan which establishes lightness, complements the rich tones and creates a harmonious balance between weight and airiness.

Antique brass knobs subtly accentuate the handcrafted quality of the linear tessellation. The piece, set against a backdrop of soft, diffused light filtering through a glass partition, elevates from a mere furniture item to a sculptural statement, seamlessly blending into its architectural setting while standing out for its beauty and intricacy.
