Flyde Sideboard
This sideboard is proudly handcrafted in New Zealand from raw European Oak. Mike selected this timber for its superior, low drying process and its very straight and subtle grain. This gives the table strength while allowing its stylish, timeless design to shine.




Mantis Table
The Mantis Table is handcrafted in New Zealand from maple, and uses triangles and a coloured table top as simple yet stunning design features. When viewed from the side you’ll also notice a bevel cut trim of timber which further enhances this light, elegant piece.

Linear Sideboard
Handcrafted in Oak timber with your choice of natural or white oil finish, the Linear Sideboard makes a solid style statement. The distinct door design is carefully routed from a quality plywood with dark grey Formica. The slots hold the Oak timber beads in place, allowing the dark grey negative detail to show.




Minimalist Coffee Table
Motivated by a minimalist design aesthetic, Mike has stripped away any extra decoration or support to create a simple solid timber table available in your choice of square or rectangle designs.




Fayd Chairs
The inspiration for these elegant Danish, high-back chairs came during a trip to Denmark. Mike was influenced by Danish design with its focus on functionality, beauty and simple lines. These chairs are handcrafted in New Zealand from American Maple, a timber valued for its delicate colour, strength and fine texture.




"Our table is stunningly beautiful.
A large solid piece of furniture, the clever elegant design gives the table lightness and simplicity. Clean simple lines, attention to detail and exquisite craftsmanship have made it a focal point of our dining room. We appreciate the love and care that has gone into making our table. Mike is lovely to deal with and his design, professionalism and craftsmanship are truly superb."
