Stories in solid timber
BurntWood is a small scale, high-end, furniture designer and maker based in Christchurch. We handcraft one-of-a-kind solid timber furniture that blends story, design, function, and artistry.
BurntWood
One-off Designs.
The design ethos at BurntWood is to work with the timber’s natural beauty. Each fletch has its own characteristics and two pieces are never the same.
Design DrivenBy Wood.
As we do not use clear fell timber for BurntWood furniture, our logs are sourced individually and in person to check for quality, colour and size. Hence, the design is driven by the timber that is available to us and is ready to be worked on.
The Timber
The timber is purchased from three sources.
Recycled timber
Untreated timber that was used before for housing, structures, and furniture.
Residential felling
This timber is sourced from small scale felling such as wind damaged tree removal services from urban areas
Forest trees
Sourced from sustainable felling operations, such as West Coast Beech, and as certified by MPI.
