Abrazo is about connection and balance. It’s composed of two cabinets that lean into each other, finding support through touch — almost like a quiet hug. Each cabinet stands strong on its own, but together they create a gentle taper along the sides, a subtle gesture of two forms meeting halfway.

The piece explores trust and togetherness: how we can hold our own shape and still find stability when we lean in. It reflects softness within structure — a reminder that strength can come from vulnerability, and that beauty often appears where balance and care meet.

Crafted from New Zealand Silver Beech, Abrazo uses the warmth and fine grain of the timber to highlight the calm, grounded feeling of the form. Even as two separate elements, the cabinets visually settle into each other, inviting a moment of stillness and quiet connection.

Sleek, blonde, & merciless. A beautiful art deco predator purring in the dark waiting for its first real casualty

Compact and seamless, introducing angles and tapers from different points of view. From the front view, straight lines, an off centred multi directional drawer and subtly tapered legs. From the side, I introduced angled legs, a half dovetailed carcass and a hollow central trough running under the length of the desk top. The trough provides the desk with structural integrity while also showcasing subtle angles and eye catching negative space.

'Brief' is a chair that is sold separately but is a perfect companion to the desk. See other listing for details.
