What we build into every piece

1

Seasoned to stillness

Narra takes four years of slow air-drying before a single board touches the bench.

2

Joined without apology

Traditional mortise-and-tenon, cut by hand, sanded flush to the grain.

3

A finish you feel before you see

Seven coats of hand-rubbed shellac, each one cured under a cotton cloth.

4

Designed for the body, not the room

Every butaka curve traces the spine’s natural recline, measured from life.
