How does working with wood affect your designs? Each one of our projects is a little different and has its own character; imperfections in the wood can become the highlight of a piece—the material inspires the design for sure. We use wood sourced from the West Coast, like Douglas fir, and when you’re working with something so raw and natural, you get surprised a little bit.
