Stream Bending Air-Dried Wood

Steam bending is a time-honored craft that allows us to transform salvaged wood into fluid, organic forms, seamlessly blending tradition with modern Milanese-inspired design. Rather than sourcing timber from conventional mills, we begin with trees that must be felled—carefully identified by skilled arborists—trees that would otherwise be reduced to mulch. By reclaiming this wood from our own neighborhoods, we grant it a second life, preserving its natural beauty and history in furniture that tells a story.

Through the careful application of steam and heat, we soften the wood’s fibers, coaxing it into graceful, uninterrupted curves without the need for cuts or joints. This process not only strengthens the material but also highlights its inherent character, revealing rich grain patterns and organic textures. Each piece we create is a testament to both sustainability and artistry—a harmonious fusion of nature, craftsmanship, and design.

Inspired by the timeless elegance of Milanese furniture, we shape our work with a sculptural sensibility and refined simplicity. Chairs unfurl like flowing ribbons, tables rise with effortless poise, and every curve speaks to a deep reverence for both form and function. By salvaging and steam-bending this forgotten wood, we transform it into enduring, meaningful objects—pieces that honor the trees from which they came and enrich the spaces they now call home.
