Each piece of furniture we create is composed of materials that existed as something else in it’s previous life. Before a table, it was a granary or before a sliding door it was a barn floor. The history and story behind each piece allows the story of the underutilized structure to live on in another form. The wood from an old school house is given a new life which allows the story and legacy of the abandoned school house to live on for years to come, far beyond the school house walls. Many of the projects incorporate materials from multiple salvaged buildings which lends to a longer list of character, history, and stories for a single piece. These unique character marks are visual reminders on each of the projects we create.
