THE HANDS THAT MAKE IT
What the food industry leaves behind becomes the beginning of something new.
Bone and horn, sourced as byproducts of the food industry, carry natural variation in tone and grain. Through precise cutting and placement, the material becomes beehive patterns, chevrons, tattoo-fine lines or broad, continuous surfaces, sometimes stretched into a translucent field or blended with water-based resin for contrast to create this collection.


Sorted one at a time
Every composition begins with the material. Bone and horn are sorted by tone and grain, allowing natural variations to guide the pattern.
A single piece may take several weeks to complete.

Each fragment is cut and fitted by hand, gradually building a surface of remarkable precision

Set sliver by sliver, in an order drawn out weeks earlier, until thousands of fragments read as a single continuous surface.
Buffed with no top coats
Repeated polishing and hand-buffing bring out the depth, warmth and subtle variations of the material.
