Portfolio

I create furniture that responds to the inherent variability of wood as a medium, embracing the unique characteristics of each piece and designing to embrace its personality. My design ethos is to create functional pieces that are understated with intention; inviting you to touch them and revealing subtle complexity the longer you look.More information on each piece, as well as additional images, can be found by clicking the photos below. All designs are available for commission, with options to customize materials and design details.

Coalesce - Writing Desk

Many of us spend a large part of our waking hours seated at a desk. Despite their prominence in our lives, they are often utilitarian and overlooked. As an integral part of everyday life – why shouldn’t they be beautiful and bring us joy?Handcrafted while studying in Scotland using locally grown and milled Scottish oak and sycamore, the desktop features hand sculpted corners that gently flow downwards. The back lip gently rises like a soft wave. Both features are subtle, inviting you to reach out and feel the wood with your hands. Two side drawers feature hand cut dovetails highlighting the contrast between the woods.The middle laptop drawer reveals a “cracked ice” parquetry pattern with pops of bright, iridescent mother of pearl contrasting against hand cut sycamore and maple. A detail just for you, something to make you smile as you go about your day.The design features a blend of soft curves and sharp lines. It celebrates the natural material from which it is made. Instead of hiding or removing what some may call defects, these features are thoughtfully considered and treated with intention to add character and individuality to the piece.The Coalesce Writing Desk is a subtle statement piece. It doesn’t impose, it invites—a second glance, a touch, a place to take a seat and distill your thoughts.Starting from $6500

Strand - Lounge Chair

The Strand Chair provides the comfort of a lounge chair while remaining visually light and airy. It is meant to be a statement piece without imposing itself in a room.The chair below, built in Scotland, started with a stunning board of local Scottish rippled ash. While the rippled wood may take centre stage, the chair was designed to complement the natural character of the timber. Gentle diverging curves on the frame enhance the straight lines of taut cord. The cord on the backrest is woven in a figure of eight pattern to create an interference pattern that mimics the holographic effect of the natural ripples.The seating angles and heights have been carefully considered for comfort and the gentle curves of the hand-shaped armrests are designed to provide a subtle, pleasing tactile experience. The cord seating surprises many with its comfort as it moulds around ones body.The green shade of the cord complements the natural colouring of the ash without overpowering. The colour was chosen to be neutral enough to fit into a wide range of interiors while ensuring it wouldn’t blend into the background. Commissioned pieces can be made with a wide array of cord colour options, providing ample opportunity to make this chair your own.Starting from $1800

Jesus Take the Wheel - Bar Cart

Named as a nod to a much loved (now sadly closed) Vancouver restaurant, this bar cart in oak and brass is a perfect home for your collection of bottles and favourite glassware. The cart is unimposing, while providing plenty of visual interest with exposed bridle joints and brass details. There's simply something a bit whimsical about pouring a friend a drink from a little trolley.Starting from $1200
