Organic optician's counter

A sculptural piece: a free-curving counter clad in timber slats, built on a bent shell formed in the workshop, then custom-tinted and installed in the shop. A perfect example of our integrated chain — what we draw, we build; what we build, we fit.

The project thread

It all happens in the workshop. The shell is bent by kerfing the panel, hugging curves that could never be improvised on site; then come the slats, following the form precisely, and the bespoke tint. In the shop, all that's left is to fit and adjust to the millimetre.
