Silver SaharaThis stunning wide wooden door was handmade in a family Cooperative in a southern Moroccan town near Zagora, Morocco. Hand carved from the fragrant wood of the Tamarisk tree harvested 100-200 years ago, this expertly crafted door has been refurbished in the traditional ornate Moroccan style.
A beautifully designed olive tree fills the entire door, made of handplaced individual pieces of repurposed camel bone. The olive tree is representative of the family tree. At the bottom of the tree on each side are two camels, also created from pieces of camel bone. Dark metal rivets on the door are carefully placed, providing the door with great strength and giving protection from evil forces, according to Moroccan legend.
Tamarisk wood, also known as salt cedar, is naturally pest repellent and ages beautifully. The variances in grain and staining create a beautiful contrast and add a rich warmth.
This item was completely handmade in a Tuareg cooperative in Amazraou, Morocco, using techniques passed down through many generations. This particular door is collaboration between a father, the silversmith; and his son, the carpenter. These are truly the finest doors you will find in all of Morocco, suitable for indoors and outdoors, or even for use as a gate door. Absolutely stunning craftsmanship and one of a kind.

AGA & Fired Earth DanmarkThe idea of the communality of a rural kitchen serving multi functions was at the heart of the design of this hand crafted collection. Before the zeal for labour saving devices turned the kitchen into more of a science lab, kitchens were the centre of the home that bound communities together, where heat and nourishment were found along with workers and family.
Bastide freestanding furniture has been created as a comprehensive system mixing varying combinations of cupboards to surround a range or a Belfast sink. Handcrafted in France from oak using traditional joinery techniques, this informal eclectic style enables a casual and relaxed approach to kitchen living.

UserInspired by Gothic Revival architecture, AUDAX led a full redesign and reconstruction of the exterior of this Forest Hill home that marries traditional elements with a modern aesthetic. The home has all of the elegance and richness one might expect of a Forest Hill residence while offering a subtle surprise in the neighborhood. The large two-storey limestone bay windows feature corners that are freed from the structure and enclosed by frameless glass. This attractive modern glass detail is made possible by the use of structural steel support instead of traditional masonry techniques. The roof is refinished with standing seam zinc and the entry is framed by a zinc and glass canopy with angled details to complement the limestone.
