Chosen in hand, under real light.

A piece of furniture is only as good as what it is made from. These are the materials we know best, and how we use them.

  • American Walnut swatch

    Timber

    Deep, warm, unmistakable

    Chocolate heartwood with a flowing figure. Walnut is the timber we reach for when a piece needs presence, and it only improves as it ages.

    Used for: Executive desks, feature cabinetry, bed frames

Timber

Natural Oak swatch

Natural Oak

Open grain, quiet strength

A pale, honest timber with a pronounced grain that takes oil and matt lacquer beautifully. It lightens a room without ever feeling cold.

Used for: Wardrobe interiors, wall panelling, dining tables

American Walnut swatch

American Walnut

Deep, warm, unmistakable

Chocolate heartwood with a flowing figure. Walnut is the timber we reach for when a piece needs presence, and it only improves as it ages.

Used for: Executive desks, feature cabinetry, bed frames

Ash swatch

Ash

Light, resilient, expressive

Creamy in tone with a bold, straight grain. Ash bends well and wears well, which makes it a natural choice for chairs and curved work.

Used for: Seating frames, curved details, stained finishes

Teak swatch

Teak

The timber of Indian homes

Dense, oily and remarkably stable in our climate. Teak has furnished this country for generations, and well-seasoned stock still has no equal for longevity.

Used for: Solid wood furniture, doors, heirloom pieces

Ebony swatch

Ebony

Near black, used with restraint

One of the darkest and hardest of timbers. We use it sparingly, as inlay, handles and accents, where a line of true black sharpens everything around it.

Used for: Inlay, handles, accent details

Italian Veneer swatch

Italian Veneer

Matched leaf by leaf

Fine veneers sliced from selected logs, book-matched and sequenced across a run of doors so the grain reads as one continuous surface.

Used for: Wardrobe fronts, kitchens, wall cladding

Finish

PU Finish swatch

PU Finish

A deep, even, durable coat

Polyurethane applied in multiple hand-sanded coats, in matt, satin or high gloss. It seals the surface against moisture and daily use while keeping colour true.

Used for: Kitchen shutters, wardrobes, lacquered furniture

Stone

Marble swatch

Marble

No two slabs alike

Natural stone chosen slab by slab for its veining. We plan the cut so the pattern falls where it should, then finish edges by hand.

Used for: Table tops, kitchen islands, vanity counters

Quartz swatch

Quartz

Calm, consistent, hard-wearing

Engineered stone with the look of natural material and none of its temperament. Non-porous and resistant to stains, it is made for kitchens that are cooked in.

Used for: Kitchen worktops, splashbacks, bar counters

Textile

Leather swatch

Leather

Softens and deepens with time

Full-grain hides, cut and stitched in our upholstery room. A material that records its use and looks better for it.

Used for: Seating, desk inlays, headboards, drawer linings

Bouclé swatch

Bouclé

Looped, tactile, generous

A looped yarn fabric with a soft, sculptural surface. It flatters rounded forms and brings warmth to a restrained room.

Used for: Armchairs, sofas, dining chairs, benches

Metal & Glass

Brass swatch

Brass

A warm line of light

Solid brass, brushed or aged, used as handles, trims, legs and inlay. A small amount is enough to lift an entire elevation.

Used for: Handles, edge trims, furniture legs, inlay

Metal swatch

Metal

Structure, made slender

Powder-coated and plated steel and aluminium, for frames and profiles that carry weight while staying visually light.

Used for: Frames, shelving systems, profile doors

Glass swatch

Glass

Clear, tinted, fluted, lacquered

Toughened glass in clear, bronze and smoked tints, as well as fluted and back-painted. It displays, divides and reflects without adding weight.

Used for: Wardrobe shutters, display units, partitions
