The Original Bird & Branch Mini Pillow shape is a staple of our offering to Michelin Stared restaurants around the world. Shown here

in stunning Patterend Beech with matching butter knife. Carefully handcrafted from a beautiful piece of Quarter Sawn London Plane which came from a tree once standing in the Euston area of London. The stunning grain patterns on these pieces are the result of a deliberate decision to mill this tree in the more time consuming quarter sawn manner. Perfect for use at the table or simply for display in your home, these pieces will add an elegant, natural touch to any setting.

To produce Patterned (spalted) Beech, fallen Beech trees are left on their sides for between 3-5 years and during this time the patterns develop as the log breaks down. Between the time on the ground and then air drying it can be 7-8 years after the tree was felled before we can work with this material. Once milled and dried the natural markings are locked in place and our challenge is to make sure that we do it justice and turn something beautiful from it.

This set, showcases the natural beauty of the wood’s intricate patterns and contrasting tones. The spalting process creates distinctive dark lines and color variations that make each piece one-of-a-kind. Combining artistry with functionality, it will add a warm, organic touch to any setting.
