He states that “Wood is a living material, the industrial tool I use as a designer has rationalised it, and it has become an effective material… The fallenTree bench is intended to reveal the wood’s DNA, to express it’s deepest nature by attempting to highlight the living fibre it is made of, I want to expose and bring it to life to reveal it’s primal identity: strong, indomitable and above all magnificent.”
