The subtle expression of natural beauty and craftsmanship, the Umber desk was created by taking a trapezoid form and establishing juxtapositions with the base and top elements. The Umber desk features handcrafted handles, dovetail detail on the three drawers and ends of the desk. Look closely at the top of the desk, and you will also find a discrete box with a lid that hides two power points and one data point, keeping the overall design sleek and refined. Made from matai, a New Zealand native...

The Canopy table was inspired by a walk through the New Zealand native forest, looking up to the tree canopy observing the tree trunks and branches. Canopy is a design metaphor of the tree itself. Each leg is a trunk with branches that create their own unique spatial geometry with positive and negative spaces. Moving around the table is a true three-dimensional experience where the legs represent the trunks and branches of the trees, and visually interact just like a canopy in the forest. Canopy is also a testament to the craftsmanship of Mother Nature and the craftsmen at Treology. We wanted the timber to tell its own story and a base that added to the narrative. It’s also functional ensuring it accommodates people to sit around and share the pleasure of family dining. The Canopy Live Edge Slab table is made from rimu, a New Zealand native tree, rescued from a river on the West Coast of the South Island, New Zealand. This sustainable timber, naturally felled by nature, is preserved for hundreds of years under sediment layers before natural water erosion exposes them. We rescue these trees and continue their journey to become a cherished piece of functional art. The river rescued trees have been carbon dated at over 1500 years old. The trees location co-ordinates are inscribed on a stainless steel Tréology tag and attached to the table, connecting the owner to a unique piece of New Zealand nature. The Canopy table is finished with hand rubbed, low V.O.C., natural plant oils to bring the stunning grain to life. Handmade in Christchurch, New Zealand.

Tréology is about connecting people to nature through functional art. Odyssey was created after a road trip to New Zealand's wild West Coast to observe nature’s craft work. Looking deep into nature, we saw the layered rock formations along the sea coast and rivers of New Zealand to achieve a functional table base. The design progression sought to bring layering metaphors into the piece, but a solid mass would be visually too heavy. The solution was to add volume through the introduction of negative space and deliver an abstract representation of the rocks and boulders we observed. Odyssey introduces the interplay with both positive and negative space so the perspective alters when walking around the piece. The Odyssey Live Edge Slab Table...
