Ever curious about how we design?
We had a great conversation with @_sightunseen_ about our latest designs, creative process and passion earlier this summer. Check out the full interview from the link in our bio.

A family of beavers shares the pond at our Trent Lakes studio. We watched how they moved through water — the unhurried sweep of a tail, a body turning on a single curve — and made a chair that wanted to do the same.
Sixteen layers of hardwood, stack-laminated and hand-carved. The form follows the gesture, not the diagram.

Paper Dreams transforms ubiquitous, everyday materials into sculptural companions with a quiet sense of presence. Made from paper pulp and cardboard, the collection brings what is usually temporary or overlooked into focus, forming objects that feel monumental, playful, and alive. Chairs, tables, and lamps move beyond pure function, becoming tactile, expressive, and almost animated in space.
The works embrace contradiction—strong yet tender, imperfect yet inviting, light yet enduring. Their pulpy surfaces retain traces of touch and making, reflecting both the humility of paper and its capacity to carry memory, ideas, and stories over time. Here, furniture becomes poetry in pulp, revealing the depth and imagination within the simplest materials.
