Chapter II

Natural Materials

Organic fragments create a warm, mottled surface with unexpected depth.

The surface is defined by layered fragments, warm brown tones and an irregular mottled pattern rather than a single continuous grain.

About the series

Natural Materials, considered for the table

Natural Materials explores organic surfaces that do not follow the continuous grain of a traditional solid-wood handle. Fragmented patterns, mottled colour and subtle changes in texture create a warm, tactile expression. The matte steel finish gives the material a calm and contemporary frame.

Each piece is handcrafted and finished in Laguiole, France, where the handle, steel and characteristic Laguiole details are assembled by skilled artisans.

The pieces are prepared after the order is confirmed. The expected production and delivery time is approximately four weeks.
