Residential. Brief: Staircase + Fitted Furniture. Style: Milltimber.

Wanting to create a contemporary centrepiece, we worked closely with the client on this project to create a gravity-defying staircase and complimentary fitted interior for this award-winning home. From a single oak tree, we created a floating staircase with glass balustrade and LED lighting to accentuate its weightless feel.

Using the same oak tree, we also crafted a unique dining table and display units with a Mondrian inspired asymmetric geometry and backlighting to match the staircase treads. Creating these elements from a single tree promotes a sense of continuity throughout the space.
