In a hectic world, we've chosen a calm & peaceful direction leading to timeless results.
Each is unique & hand carved in London from urban reclaimed trees, giving a sustainable & balanced approach to using wood, diverting them from waste stream into a resource.
Founder Steve Nyman has always had a deep passion for nature and the feel and visual beauty that nature provides....on a long awaited trip to the Far East, he stopped and discovered the reality of his love and passion, pure untouched nature. He stumbled across drifted woods and unique shells of all shapes and sizes and was immediately drawn and attached to them. With an urge to bring home one specific driftwood but didn't due to it's size, he left with some interesting shells instead and with his visual photographic memory he headed home with an aim to make his dream come true.
Some time later in London, he managed to source & design these harmonious treasures for your home.
