Making this table for some of our favourite clients has been so much fun. Our clients were looking for a sophisticated, elegant table for their beautiful home and they came to us with a clear vision what they wanted us to make.

This modernist, sleek design works beautifully with their mix of Danish, midcentury-modern furniture in their beautiful home.

The table was supposed to match other ‘thin elements’ in their home in thickness, like for instance the window sills. We have bevelled the edges of the table top and both inner sides of the legs to add further detail to the design as well as making this table look ‘lighter’ while keeping it structurally strong.

The table has also been built with a negative detail between the box legs and the tabletop to create a ‘floating effect’ for the elegantly thin table top.

We have finished the table with a high quality, natural oil. Beautiful black bolts hold everything together and add another interesting aspect to the overall look.

The table sits 6-8 people.

PLYWOOD KITCHEN FOR AN ECLECTIC HOME

When our clients talked to us about their kitchen renovations, they have asked us if we could use Matai floorboards that they have taken out of the house during their renovations. They wanted to combine old and new. As a result of their idea, the Benchtop is a combination of new plywood with a top layer of the recycled Matai. Our clients specifically asked us to expose the edges of both materials.

The fronts are made of NZ Pine plywood with simple cut-out handles.

A black toe kick gives the cabinets a slight floating effect and adds a nice contrast to the overall look.

WHITE AND BAMBOO - A SOPHISTICATED AND RELAXED MIX

This modern kitchen renovation combines an elegantly white kitchen with Bamboo. Together they build the backdrop for our client’s colourful collection of favourite pieces.

The sleek Bamboo benchtop not only adds warmth to this monochromatic kitchen. It is also a very sustainable choice. This Moso bamboo is grown and harvested in sustainably managed bamboo forests and plantations.

GABOON & RATTAN LOUNGE UNIT

The warm tone of the Gaboon plywood and the cane mesh really integrate themselves so nicely into this retro-modern styled beach home in Raglan.

When we met our clients they asked us to come up with a design that works well with the tones of their newly renovated beach house. The materials and design of their new TV-Stereo Unit and the matching book shelf is simple - with clean lines and tidy yet sophisticated details. The warm Gaboon veneer was a natural choice that adds a retro vibes to the design.

These two units make the perfect addition to their beachy-eclectic interiors.
