Door Beam Collection

Doors are everywhere, every house has an entrance, they are the portals into peoples lives and play an essential role into our everyday existence. Traditional Chinese doors were extravagant and bold, big heavy wooden beams were used to portray an overview of strength and security to the outside world,
As times evolved, these doors were streamlined and the use of this beautiful wood died out. The door beam collection utilizes this once traditional material and recycles it in unique furniture forms. The reclaimed wood finds its way back to peoples live, this time inside the house.

The Door Beam collection is created from recycled door beams , salvaged from traditional Chinese doors and door frames. Dating back 60 years. Each piece of wood holds its own unique character and feeling. A story is passed through every piece of furniture. The beams interlock together to create a foundation of strength, as the doors they once were.
