Inspired by the ever-popular original RB coffee table, this
stylish new range of furniture is developed by designers with a love for
woodcuts.
These woodcuts are the little bits of wood collected when making certain pieces of furniture.
They are often too small and may end up as part of accessories or in some cases just used as firewood.
Using woodcuts for good furniture is extremely labour intensive and comes with a host of challenges relating to construction.
However thanks to the success of our first design, the RB coffee
table, and a number of our customers with a specific requirement to use
wood cuts, a small number of talented craftsmen have become masters in
the craft of using woodcuts to make fine furniture.
The Sierra Bar and the TV Cabinet join the RB Coffee table and a number of Table Lamps to become the first items in our new range made from woodcuts.
The Bar and TV cabinets are inspired by our worldwide popular Rustic Range designed by Elizabeth Bain. Each month for at least the next 12 months, we will be introducing new items to add to this range.
The name Azkia (meaning ‘Torch” or “Illumination”) is reflective of HOPE as it gives more opportunity to more craftsmen to earn a living.
As using woodcuts will have a tremendous effect on the earth and in turn future generations, we felt it was apt to name the Range the “Azkia Range”, named after the new born daughter of Yoni of Yoni Art, our furniture manufacturing arm. It is the symbol of hope for future generations.
