The products are available in natural wood or finished with eco-friendly water-based lacquer. They are designed to be simple, easy to assemble and finish and fun to use.
At their woollen mill in Milton, New Zealand, high quality fleeces and fibres are sourced and transformed into beautiful colours and sumptuous blends.
