The collection takes a playful look at functionality, and in utilising a range of tactile materials, ’the hand of the maker’ is highlighted. In Quarry for example, the organic marks of the cutting tool are clearly visible in the hand-turned marble; and in Coracle, the woven automotive leather features hand stitching.

The full range includes a dining table, side table, dining chair, lounge chair and pendent light.
