WOOD REDEFINED
This is clarity, form and function in wood
This project showcases versatile kitchen and interior products such as the Vlajka cutting board, knife holders, and sculptural vases, all carved from solid wood. Sustainability is embedded at every stage: we use locally sourced oak and walnut, produce with solar energy, and avoid synthetic glues or finishes. Each product is refined through meticulous hand-finishing, designed to last for years, and fully recyclable. Even wood scraps are reused as eco-fuel, closing the loop in a zero-waste process.
