Tréology is a New Zealand–based company that continues a 150-year-old family tradition of furniture making. Its mission is to connect people with nature through contemporary organic furniture such as its mid-century modern-inspired desks, dining room tables, stools and other pieces.
A reverence for New Zealand’s natural landscape is evident at all stages of the firm’s design process, from the inspiration behind its collections to its hands-on approach to sourcing the reclaimed wood it uses.
“The trees are rescued from rivers on the West Coast of New Zealand,” says Andrew Davies, Tréology’s cofounder and CEO. “It is a place I love to explore and take my family on adventure. I personally inspect and catalogue all our timber slabs before they are stored for drying. We love to connect our clients to the place where the tree was rescued, so we put the geographic coordinates of where the tree was found on our furniture.”
In addition to salvaging from rivers, Tréology uses wood that has been submerged in fjords and historical timber from earthquake sites in Christchurch.
The ancient kauri timber employed in its lauded Umber collection comes from swamps in northern New Zealand, a sacred Maori site, where it had lain underwater for more than 45,000 years, preserved by the low oxygen conditions. Once retrieved, the logs must be given time to dry before they can be made into furniture.
“Waiting a few more years before we use them takes a bit of patience, but like a fine whiskey, good things take time,” Davies says.
