Bone

The singular material, bone inspires solidity. Timeless, it passes through the ages and travels from prehistory to today. Thanks to its delicacy and brilliant whiteness, the cabinet maker uses it to underline, frame and draw. It allows the craftsman to work meticulous details, such as - keyholes, table legs - giving a singular refinement, to the creation.The bone can also be coloured and gives rise to new materials.
