Swiss pine trees can grow to be a thousand years old. This native wood is easy to work with, stands out thanks to its vibrant markings and is pleasingly fragrant. Kitchen panels and dining area in Swiss pine. Deerskin benches and ceiling beams made of reclaimed wood. Black steel for the fittings and curved handrail. Simple and homely – traditional meets modern.
