Our Story
From the Heart of Austrian Waldviertel
Chronicles of Centuries - Where Time Becomes Visible
When a tree is felled, its wood reveals a unique story. Dendrochronology – the science of tree rings – allows us to read this history: wide rings for rainy years, narrow rings for drought periods, scars from storms the tree survived.
We transform these natural time documents into individual artworks for your home. Each piece of wood tells its own story – no two tables are ever the same.
Do you want a table that tells your story – whose tree rings carry your birth year? Discover our Arbor Annum collection: handcrafted unique pieces where time, nature, and personality merge into one.
Waldviertel
Lower Austria
Where Art Meets Nature
Austrian forests are living organisms – breathing, growing, fading, and awakening anew. Animals find food and shelter here, plants grow in the rhythm of the seasons. We work with what nature has created. Each piece of wood brings its own story – visible in the tree rings, in the grain, in natural cracks and branches. These natural features are not flaws, but make each piece unique.
Through combination with epoxy resin, natural inlays, and careful surface treatment, we highlight the beauty of the wood. Natural cracks become flowing rivers, tree rings become visible timelines, each branch fork tells the story of the tree's growth.
The result is handcrafted objects that connect nature and design – functional in everyday life, unique in appearance, and each one-of-a-kind with its own story.

"Our table is not just a piece of furniture – you can see the tree rings, feel the tree's history. It's fascinating to know that this tree may have been standing when my grandparents were born. A true piece of nature in our home."Maria K., Vienna
