Design & Philosophy
Squares is a study of contrast and clarity. The architecture is deliberately simple — planar tops and a single vertical metal column - while the surfaces are richly nuanced: rare veneers with vivid, organic figure under ultra-gloss or deep-matte lacquer, and glass tinted to the exact tone of the veneer.
Through the glass you read the veneer like a painting; the oxidised metal column anchors the piece with a tactile, mineral depth - revealing drawings of oxidation unique to each item. The finish logic is intentionally opposite:
if the metal is matte, the veneer is super-gloss;
if the metal is sealed to a high sheen, the veneer is finished in a profound matte.
The result is an object that catches light with precision and restraint, yet stays emotionally vivid - a focal point for living rooms, lounges, lobbies and galleries.
Materials & Finishes
Veneers: Green Bird’s-Eye Maple / Blue Madrona Burl / White Eucalyptus / (additional veneers available upon request)
Glass tops: Colour-matched to veneer tone (green, blue, white, etc.), optically clear edge
Metal column finishes: Oxidised Steel (sealed matte) / Oxidised Steel — high-gloss sealed / Patinated or Brushed Brass / Blackened Steel
Surface logic: Ultra-Gloss Veneer × Matte Metal / Deep-Matte Veneer × High-Gloss Sealed Metal
The veneers used are intentionally rare and visually expressive.
Custom colours, veneers and metal patinas can be developed upon request.
Atmosphere & Use
Designed to stand out in contemporary interiors: from bold colour pairings (green with yellow; turquoise with orange) to quiet classics (white with steel; brown with brass). Each piece functions as a table yet behaves as a sculptural accent, organising space and light.
