Dream

The business was started because of a vision and dream placed on my heart – to use the business and our designs to have an impact on people’s lives. Taking those in need out of a bad situation and helping them through design and craftmanship. Teaching those who didn’t have the same opportunities and try and give those that need it the redemption that we received.

Matthew 6:33 – But first and most importantly seek His Kingdom and His righteousness and all these things will be given to you also.

Design style

Your journey has molded you for the greater good, and it was exactly what it needed to be. Don’t think you’ve lost time. There is no short-cutting to life. It took each and every situation you have encountered to bring you to the now. And now is right on time – Asha Tyson

My design journey feels a bit like this quote as my life took a different, unconventional turn before I came to this point. Through this journey, my technique of designing already started developing. Even before I was a designer.

I was a Physiotherapist before and when I was being trained, we were taught to look and to feel while trying to find the problems our patients had.  To help the human body to heal, there are a lot of puzzle pieces that needs to work together and, as a Physiotherapist, I needed to try and figure them out first and then put it together again. These techniques are still ingrained within me and has found its way into my process of designing.

I use smaller pieces of wood and like a puzzle, I will build the furniture pieces bit by bit into the functional art pieces you see. Every piece of wood will first be prepared individually. Cut, planed at the right angle and holes drilled for the joints etc. Then the puzzle building starts. First gluing the legs. Then gluing multiple legs together, bigger and bigger until you have the whole design as one solid piece. 

When designing new pieces, this process becomes fun, as the designing and building blends into one. I figure out the best place for each piece of wood. Building and designing, building and designing. Giving every furniture piece a unique look and feel.

Psalm 1:3 – And he will be like a tree firmly planted and fed by the streams of water, which yields its fruit in its season, its leaf does not wither and in whatever he does, he prospers and comes to maturity.
