The workshop

Each piece is made by hand in solid wood, using the steam-bending technique of boatbuilders, then stamped and numbered. About ten Marino Rockers and fifteen Nina & Beni chairs are made each year; the current waiting time for both is nine months or more.

“…crafting furniture in steam-bent wood using artisanal techniques that carry an unmistakable architectural precision.”
