“Allow your passion to become your purpose, and it will one day become your profession...”
As far back as I can remember, I always found it exciting and admirable if a person had the skill to create things with his/ her own hands.
What originated as a hobby quickly sparked an idea and a goal of selling high end custom made pieces to clients.
Developing and improving on our skills became of the utmost importance in order to ensure that we delivered exclusive pieces of furniture that were of the highest quality.
And so, Bark & Steel was born…
A unique workshop creating items that our clients would not be able to find in a retail store, not only because of its visual appeal and expert craftsmanship but because it was made from the solid wood - an rivalled natural material.
Each solid wood piece holds within its fibers, an astonishing narrative, crafted by nature itself. The intricate patterns and marks etched across its surface are the tangible echoes of its journey, whispering of the tree it once belonged to.
Every unique grain unravels a tale of strength, resilience, and growth – a testament to the majesty of the natural world.
As we gather around these cherished materials, we become witnesses to their rich history, inviting us to embrace the beauty of imperfections and celebrate the remarkable individuality that resides within each and every piece. Let us revel in the nostalgia of these timeless items, as they continue to narrate stories that intertwine with our own, creating an enduring bond.
We hope that one day you will make us part of your family and have a Bark and Steel piece in your home or office.
