Description

The Milford bedside table is made from an ancient matai tree (a native timber of New Zealand) that has fallen naturally into rivers and preserved for hundreds of years under sediment layers before natural water erosion exposes them.

We rescue these trees and continue their journey to become a cherished piece of functional art. The matai wood top and single dovetailed drawer are finished with hand rubbed natural plant oils to bring the gorgeous grain to life.

The folded aged, blackened steel base was inspired by the plunging mountains that create the Milford Sounds. The base represents the way light casts shadows on the ridges and valleys of the mighty Mitre Peak.

Handmade in Christchurch, New Zealand.
