Magé Cabinet

The Magé Cabinet is a celebration of Japanese and whisky culture combined in an intricate symbiotic relationship between two halves; the weight and visual simplicity of the cabinet and the delicacy of the branch inspired base. The eastern influence is taken from a traditional Japanese craft, Magewappa in which straight grained Cedar is bent into lunchboxes and rice steamers. The Magé cabinet reflects this through the flowing vertices of the top half whilst the exposed joinery of the bottom half express the understated nature of the craft. It is designed for the whisky enthusiast and does not restrict the presentation or placement of their collection.

Climbing rope which is no longer safe to use is often stored unused as the rope is a reminder of the outdoor adventures which the climber and the gear have seen together. The LL. stool and MH. chair gives climbing rope a new lease of life.

Terrazzo Table Collection

The Terrazzo Table legs are hand cast from a material called Jesmonite, an eco-friendly waterbased gypsum composite. The Terrazzo pattern is created by pigmenting thin sheets of Jesmonite which are broken up and added to the base mix. When sanded down each leg reveals a random pattern making each leg unique. The assembly of the tables requires no fixings or tools which allows for simple flat pack distribution.
