Materials guide
Choose durable materials for useful objects.
Material is a promise about time. We choose wood, brass, and finishes that can be maintained rather than replaced when life leaves a mark.
BrassWarm, resilient, and happy to show its age.
WoodSelected for grain, stability, and repairability.
OilSimple finishes that can be renewed at home.
SteelStrength where a small object needs backbone.
