Shadowline Collection

Influenced by Bauhaus and Japanese design principles, the Shadowline collection strives for timeless elegance, embodying an honest approach to form and detail. Crafted from solid Tasmanian Oak, the chairs are distinguished by components articulated with shadow rebates, which artfully express their form and function. This intentional interplay with light and shadow is inspired by the unique quality of Australian sunlight. These chairs are part of a broader range of furniture pieces that celebrate simplicity and a steadfast commitment to a sustainable future.

Core (Storage & Separation unit)

Core is a free-standing modular storage and room separation system that offers both horizontal and vertical adaptability. With a kit of components, Core can be arranged in numerous configurations to meet various interior space and display needs.

Polished marble (Nero Marquina) bases are the foundation of the unit supporting polished stainless-steel tubular components that secure the timber (American Walnut) shelves. This versatile system allows for component additions or reductions over time, ensuring a prolonged and useful lifespan.

Inspired by the articulation of architectural façades, Core aims to be an elegant and sculptural addition to both domestic and commercial interior spaces.
