Collection Nº 03 · Blackened ash
Vesper
Beds, chests and cabinets in blackened ash — dark, calm and precise, for the end of the day.
Black that is still wood
Vesper is not painted. The ash is blackened with an iron-acetate reaction that bonds with the tannin in the timber, so the grain stays open under your hand and the colour cannot chip. In low light it reads near-black; by a lamp it warms to deep umber.
These are the pieces for the last hour of the day — a bed with no sharp edges to find in the dark, a chest that closes on a soft wooden slide, a cabinet that keeps its counsel.
