Log house, grandma's kitchen.

The brief was a log house and a grandmother's kitchen. So the counter is clad in real tree trunks, set side by side along its curve, under a stone top. By the door, a single piece of trunk becomes a step.

What we made

  • 01Counter. Clad in tree trunks along the curve, with a stone top.
  • 02Step. Cut from one piece of trunk.
  • 03Furniture. For the dining room.

Look closer.

One piece of trunk, cut and set into the floor as a step. No veneer, no cladding — the real thing.
