Etagere Wood
TARTAN series
This etagere is TARTAN in its purest form. Bamboo and solid brass. Nothing more than what is needed. An open structure of crossing elements and shelves, where construction becomes part of the object. The rhythm changes as you move around it, somewhere between a piece of furniture and a three-dimensional pattern.
The etagere can be taken apart and built again. Shelves can be changed or replaced, allowing the object to adapt over time. We like the idea that a piece of furniture does not have to remain exactly as it was made. That it can change with you, while keeping its principle.

TARTAN
TARTAN takes its name from the traditional Scottish pattern, where threads cross and repeat to form a larger whole. In the TARTAN series, we explore the possibility of ‘weaving’ with wood, simplified to its purest form. Where the wood meets, a knot occurs. From these knots, a structure emerges.
Every structure is made from high-density bamboo and solid brass. The bamboo fibres are compressed under high pressure, creating a dense and durable material. Nothing more than what is needed.
We consider TARTAN a way of building furniture differently. The structures can be taken apart, adapted, repaired and built again. Parts can change while the principle remains. At the end of an object’s life, its materials can be separated and given another life.
TARTAN is ongoing. Taking us further every time. Different objects, different proportions, new possibilities.
