Tide
Sculpted seating, comfortable enough to live with every day.
Tide began with a question about comfort: can a sculptural seat actually be the chair you reach for at the end of the day?
The origin of TideTide is a study in balance. A considered form that holds itself in tension — clean enough to read as contemporary furniture, dynamic enough to feel like sculpture. The same language adapts across scales and uses; one collection, several rooms.
The collection is built from layered Baltic birch — the studio's signature material. Each layer is precision-laminated, then shaped along the grain so the striations of the birch become the surface itself. The exposed edge reads as strata: the geological metaphor that gave the studio its name. Wood, but engineered. Organic, but considered. Nothing is rough-hewn; nothing is incidental.
Every Tide piece is finished with polished brass — joint accents, edge details, recessed inlays — arranged in deliberate, almost mechanical patterns. Optional noble veneers in walnut, mahogany, maple, or cherry can be specified for the surface treatment. The result is a piece that catches light differently from every angle, and rewards close looking as much as it reads from across a room.
Seating, sculpted.
Tide is offered as an easy chair and counter stool — both built around the same sculpted spine, scaled to where they live.
Love the form, want it different?
Some clients come to us with the Tide collection in mind, but with a piece in mind that we don't yet make — a console at a different proportion, a credenza in this language, a sculptural bench. We design these often. They begin with a conversation.
