This work draws from the architecture of marine shells, structures shaped by slow growth, internal pressure, and the need for protection. The timber frame rises as a vertical enclosure, split and opened to hold a reflective interior, suggesting a form organized around exposure and shelter.

This prototype is made out of Red Oak. It can be tailored according to specific requests.
-
3D scanning and packed nesting inform the glue-up of custom billets, which are milled and hand-finished.
-
Demo piece: 1750 × 700 × 350 mm. Dimensions customizable upon request.
Snapshots from our workflow
Designing the process as much as the object was always the case for us. Our workflows usually require custom glue-ups to minimize waste and processing time, and special workholding setups optimized to reduce vibrations while allowing for the best possible finish of the piece.
These are snapshots from the workshop as our self-standing mirror prototype comes together. Robotic fabrication isn’t plug-and-play. Each project demands a tailored approach, where material, geometry, and tools are interdependent.
