As a master carpenter, I design and manufacture unique pieces in my manufactory according to your specifications.
The furniture as a work of natural art
My career began in the traditional trades. For many years, I worked in various workshops crafting furniture, interior fittings, and store fixtures. Through this experience, I learned how important precision craftsmanship, an understanding of materials, and a keen eye for proportions are.
When I started my own business in Goch on the Lower Rhine in 2002, I had the opportunity to bring my own ideas for furniture making to life. Since then, my focus has been on working with solid wood in a way that preserves its natural character and creates unique pieces of furniture with personality. My goal is to express the unique qualities of nature through my furniture.
In 2011, I held a kauri tabletop in my hands for the first time. This wood immediately impressed me with its serenity, depth, and unique character. That first encounter gradually led to my specialization in this field.
Since 2015, I have been crafting exclusively solid kauri wood tables—including dining tables, conference tables, burl tables, tree-trunk tables, and designer tables. To me, kauri wood from the New Zealand swamps is a material unlike any other. It is a material with history, presence, and a dignity all its own.
In 2016, I traveled to New Zealand to see the kauri forests, the excavations of the ancient trunks, and the origins of this extraordinary wood with my own eyes. It was only once I was there that it became clear to me once again just how closely this material is connected to the landscape, time, and its origins.
This experience has had a lasting impact on my work with kauri. Since then, I have come to see the wood not merely as a raw material, but as a material with a sense of origin, tranquility, and an extraordinary inner strength.
Further information on the origin of kauri wood
Solid kauri wood combines natural grandeur, age, and character in a way that continues to fascinate me to this day. The root and trunk pieces, in particular, possess a presence that goes far beyond their mere practical value. In some pieces, I also incorporate naturally embedded amber, which further enhances the depth and uniqueness of the material.
To me, the result is something that lies somewhere between a piece of furniture, an object, and an unusual work of natural art. Each table remains a functional object, yet at the same time embodies the dignity of a one-of-a-kind piece.
I oversee every piece of kauri wood from its source to the finished piece of furniture. From selecting the raw logs in New Zealand, through transport to Germany, to the handcrafted finishing in my workshop, every piece of furniture is created under my personal supervision. I personally oversee every piece, right through to delivery to the customer.
In this way, every piece of furniture is created as a seamless process—with a clear provenance, its own distinctive style, and no anonymous steps.
I craft each table individually and to order. None of my pieces are mass-produced. I personally select, process, and finish every piece. The natural shape of the wood often provides the decisive inspiration for how the final piece of furniture will take shape.
To highlight the uniqueness of each piece, I mark my solid-wood tables with a sequential, one-of-a-kind number. Each table also comes with a certificate of age that documents the origin and age of the wood used.
Kauri tables as a tangible investment
I craft each table with passion and great respect for the material. I am inspired by the moment when a naturally grown slab of wood becomes a work of art in its own right. For me, this work is more than just traditional craftsmanship—it is a process in which form, tranquility, and the character of nature come together.
I consider it a privilege to be able to work with such exceptional wood. For me, it is precisely this combination of artisanal precision and natural character that lies at the very heart of my work.
My tables are crafted in my workshop in Goch. There, I’d be happy to show you unfinished kauri tabletops, sample pieces, and how I work. This way, you can see firsthand the journey from raw material to finished table.
For visitors from the south, Switzerland, and Luxembourg, I also offer my showroom in Graach on the Moselle. There, you can take your time to experience a selection of finished samples and see how they look in a room setting.
I want to create furniture that works well in everyday life while also exuding a sense of the extraordinary. Solid kauri wood, in particular, offers the ideal conditions for this: it is serene and powerful, natural and clear, rare and durable.
To me, every kauri table is a unique work of nature, shaped by skilled craftsmanship. It is the combination of origin, material, and craftsmanship that makes my work so valuable to me.
