Our natural materials wood and stone

Wood – Character, Origin and Attitude

Wood is not just a material to us. It is a partner.


Each type of wood brings its own history, its own rhythm and its own aesthetic – and it is precisely this diversity that makes our work so special.

In our factory we process selected woods such as oak, American walnut, heartwood beech, teak and ash.

Each of them possesses a distinctive material language, which we make visible through precise construction, CNC manufacturing and handcrafted finishing.

Types of wood

American walnut – elegance with depth

Walnut is the wood for people who seek something special. Its dark, chocolatey base tone, combined with vibrant, sometimes purplish-brown shades, creates an atmosphere of modern luxury.


The fine, silky surface and the calm structure make walnut an ideal material for minimalist forms that nevertheless have a strong presence in the room.

Oak – timeless, powerful, archaic

Oak is one of the most distinctive European woods. Its warm, golden-brown color spectrum and striking, calm grain lend our objects a natural depth.

Oak stands for durability – it is hard, dimensionally stable and develops a beautiful patina over the years.

For furniture and lighting that are meant to last for generations, it is one of our top recommendations.

​Heartwood beech – lively, warm, expressive

Core beech does not originate as a separate tree species, but as a special sorting of the European beech.

Characteristic are the wild, reddish-brown heartwood stripes, which give the wood a warm, almost organic energy.


The distinctive grain pattern is created by natural processes inside the tree, making each piece unique.

Heartwood beech is hard, heavy and extremely robust – ideal for furniture that has to withstand a lot in everyday use.


Due to its pronounced "working", it reacts more strongly to fluctuations in humidity, which is why we prefer to use it in living spaces with stable indoor air.

Ash – light, modern, dynamic

Ash is the lightest of all woods. Its bright, almost Scandinavian-looking color and dynamic, often flowing grain give our objects a fresh, modern look.


Ash is tough, elastic and resilient – qualities that have made it a preferred wood in crafts for centuries.


In minimalist designs, it appears light and friendly without losing substance.

Teak – resistance, warmth and timeless elegance

Teak is one of the most extraordinary woods in the world. Hardly any other material combines natural resilience, warm appearance, and decades of dimensional stability as naturally as this tropical hardwood.

For us, teak is not an exotic wood – but a wood with character, history, and an impressive inner calm. Its impact comes from its substance, not from noise.

That's precisely why it fits so naturally into our designs: clean lines, precise geometries, honest materials.

Teak makes a statement – subtle, but unmistakable.

Our attitude towards wood

We work exclusively with solid wood from responsible forestry .
Each board is selected by us according to color, structure and technical suitability.
The combination of precise CNC machining and meticulous handcrafting represents to ensure that the natural beauty of the wood is not covered up, but highlighted.

Wood is a living material – and we create with this life.


Every object that leaves our factory bears the signature of the material and the signature of our work.

Natural stone – origin, character and unmistakable presence

Natural stone is time condensed.


Every block, every vein, every shade is the result of geological processes that have unfolded over millions of years. For us, natural stone is not a decorative element, but an archaic material that grounds spaces, lends weight to objects, and radiates an unparalleled authenticity.

In our factory we process selected natural stones such as Carrara marble, Nero Marquina, Calacatta and various Brazilian quartzites.

Every stone has its own language – and we create objects that make this language visible: clear, reduced, precise.

Natural stone materials

Carrara marble – Italian classicism in its purest form

Carrara is the epitome of marble.
Its bright, almost cloudy white with fine, grey veins appears calm, sophisticated and timeless.

Since ancient times, Carrara has been used for sculptures, architecture and high-quality interiors – a material that conveys elegance without effects.

Qualities we value:

  • fine, harmonious veining

  • soft, diffuse light reflection

  • ideal for minimalist designs

  • It looks particularly elegant in combination with wood or metal

Carrara is a stone that doesn't make a sound. It brings a quiet, sovereign presence to every object.

Nero Marquina – Depth, contrast and graphic precision

Nero Marquina is the opposite of Carrara – and that's precisely why it's so exciting.


Its deep black, interwoven with clear white veins, creates a graphic tension that has a strong effect in modern interiors.

Characteristics:

  • intense black tone with high depth effect

  • distinctive, high-contrast veining

  • ideal for clean, architectural lines

  • It is particularly effective in combination with light woods or metal.

Nero Marquina is a stone for objects that deliberately set accents – precise, modern, confident.

Calacatta – luxury, warmth and expressive grain

Calacatta is one of the most sought-after types of marble in the world.


In contrast to Carrara, it shows broad, gold- to grey-toned veins that stretch across the light background like brushstrokes.


The result is a stone that appears warm, luxurious and vibrant without losing its elegance.

Why we use Calacatta:

  • exceptional, expressive veining

  • warm base tone with soft color nuances

  • ideal for prestigious properties and accent areas

  • combines naturalness with modern exclusivity

Calacatta is a statement – but a stylish one.

Brazilian quartzites – hardness, color and geological uniqueness

Brazilian quartzites are among the most fascinating natural stones in the world.

They originate from sandstone, which is metamorphosed under extreme pressure into a highly compacted, extremely hard rock.
The result: stones that visually resemble marble, but possess the robustness of granite.

Typical characteristics:

  • Exceptionally high hardness and scratch resistance

  • low water absorption

  • enormous variety of colors: from cool shades of gray to warm, earthy or even bluish hues

  • ideal for heavily used areas and durable objects

Quartzites from Brazil are stones with character – powerful, individual and technically impressive.

Teak is one of the most extraordinary woods in the world. Hardly any other material combines natural resilience, warm appearance, and decades of dimensional stability as naturally as this tropical hardwood.
For us, teak is not an exotic wood – but a wood with character, history, and an impressive inner calm. Its impact comes from its substance, not from noise.
That's precisely why it integrates so naturally into our designs: clean lines, precise geometries, honest materials. Teak makes a statement – subtle, yet unmistakable.

Our attitude towards natural stone

We personally select each block of stone – according to its color, veining, structure and technical suitability.
CNC machining creates precise geometries, which we then refine by hand: ground, broken, polished or brushed to a satin finish – depending on the desired effect of the material.

Natural stone is a gift from the earth .


Our task is to make his story visible.
