Dining & coffee tables — solid wood, rattan, mixed media
Tables
The joinery is the design
Joinery Table
Every connection on this table is visible. Every tenon is exposed. Every joint is positioned to be seen. I made this table because I was frustrated with furniture that hides its construction — as if making were something to be ashamed of. The craftsman who built it said it was the most difficult easy table he had ever made.

Industrial in origin. Domestic in finish.
IDE
Steel base, teak surface, the gap between them exactly 3mm — the gap that reads as intention rather than tolerance. The IDE table came from a brief for a restaurant that was in an old warehouse: the client wanted the steel to remain, the teak to arrive. The 3mm gap is the moment where industrial becomes considered.

Armchairs
Proportions that survive repetition
The Set
Hospitality procurement demands a chair that holds its character across fifty units. Most chairs fail this test — the fifth one looks different from the first, not in measurements but in presence. The Set was designed backwards from this problem. The proportions were locked first, the material second, the finish last. It reproduces exactly.

Built for restaurant reality
Sala Dining
Restaurants need chairs that stack, clean fast, hold weight without wobbling, and still look considered when full of guests. These four requirements are in tension with each other. I resolved them over six months with our Chiang Mai atelier. The result is the chair that appears most often in our hotel contracts — because buyers who understand operations recognise what it took to make it.

Chairs
The workhorse. Available in six finishes.
Workshop One
Commercial-grade, stackable, dimensionally consistent across large production runs. I designed this chair to be the one a restaurant buyer orders and never thinks about again — because it never fails, never wobbles, never dates. The six finishes were not a styling decision; they were a procurement decision, because hotel designers need to match.

Eleven prototypes before this. The twelfth was kept.
Eleven
The eleventh prototype had the right seat geometry. The wrong back. The tenth had the right back and the wrong seat. The twelfth combined them and added three millimetres to the front leg taper that neither of us had thought to try. I kept the twelfth because it was the first one I sat in and did not immediately want to change.

Benches
Seating four in a single span
Line Four
Hotel lobbies require seating that reads as one object, not as four chairs pushed together. The Line Four is a single teak span over a steel base — the seating for four arrives as a single gesture. Used in lobbies from Sukhumvit to Silom by procurement teams who understand the visual difference.

Steel and teak in productive tension
Frame Bench
The material contrast was the brief: a client specified steel and wood without knowing which should dominate. We built the frame in steel and the seat in teak — the steel visible, the teak warm. The ratio matters: too much metal and it reads industrial, too much wood and the steel becomes irrelevant. This bench holds the balance.

Sofas
Named for the paper of the first sketch
Kraft
This sofa began as a fold on a piece of kraft paper — the heavy brown paper I use when I am thinking, not designing. The fold created a back angle that I had not arrived at by calculation. I built the prototype to the fold angle exactly. It has not changed since. The name is a reminder that the best briefs are accidents.

The 12cm arm is the key dimension
Corner Twelve
Hotel lobby L-configuration sofas fail when the arm is wrong — too wide and it wastes floor area, too narrow and guests avoid the corner seat. The 12cm arm width came from measuring every hotel lobby arm I could find and identifying the one dimension that appeared in the most-occupied corners. Then I designed outward from that number.

Beds
One frame. One platform. One height.
Platform One
The design instruction was: do not make it complicated. A bed is a platform at a specific height. Everything else is furniture talking about itself. Platform One is the platform — solid teak, single dimension, one hardware specification. For hotel rooms where the room should be remembered, not the bed.

The posts are the design
Canopy Form
Four-post structure in solid teak. Everything else — the headboard, the rails, the slats — serves the posts. I began this piece by deciding the diameter and taper of the posts, then built outward from that decision. The proportions of the room change when this bed is in it. That is the correct ambition for a statement piece.
