Landing page captured for the 2026-09-15 issue.

Field notes

The workshop sources timber from wooden houses in the Black Sea region before demolition, dismantling roofs, beams, and floorboards by hand and recording each piece’s village and house. It works with chestnut, oak, and pine, producing four named wall-panel series alongside individually made tables, chairs, doors, and stairs. The site also describes pergolas, verandas, gazebos, and country houses built from old beams. Orders and project inquiries appear to proceed through email or WhatsApp rather than visible online pricing.
