Flyde Sideboard

This sideboard is proudly handcrafted in New Zealand from raw European Oak. Mike selected this timber for its superior, low drying process and its very straight and subtle grain. This gives the table strength while allowing its stylish, timeless design to shine.

Mantis Table

The Mantis Table is handcrafted in New Zealand from maple, and uses triangles and a coloured table top as simple yet stunning design features. When viewed from the side you’ll also notice a bevel cut trim of timber which further enhances this light, elegant piece.

Linear sideboard

This original design was crafted to compliment a bespoke kitchen with Oak handles. The distinct door design is carefully routed from a quality plywood with dark grey Formica. The slots hold the Oak timber beads in place, allowing the dark grey negative detail to show.

Minimum coffee table

Motivated by a minimalist design aesthetic, Mike has stripped away any extra decoration or support to create a simple solid timber table available in your choice of square or rectangle designs.
