Walnut, Stainless Steel, Beeswax Treated Fabric, Bio-composite “Ciphers”

Cipher & Hand is a collection of three objects exploring the relationship between furniture, touch, and gesture.

Through subtle interruptions in familiar forms, the collection encourages moments of curiosity and discovery. A hand might pause along a carved surface, reach for an unfamiliar texture, or follow a contour without knowing why.

Each object offers a different way of engaging with its form, allowing touch to become a means of understanding rather than simply an act of use.

The bench encourages the hand to wander across its sculpted walnut surface. Hand-carved pockets hold small biocomposite stones, inviting them to be lifted, held, and returned. Even in their absence, the hollow contours remain, drawing fingertips along the wood and extending the interaction beyond the stones themselves.
