BARK CONNECTORS

The BARK CONNECTORS do more than just join panels together or anchor them to the wall – they open up new possibilities for custom furniture design. Using leftover materials, they enable the creation of shelves, tables, and other creative objects. In the spirit of circularity, reclaimed materials are given a second life – reducing waste and making efficient use of resources.

Rather than hiding, the connectors appear as visible ornaments and define the aesthetic of each piece. Their six shapes – inspired by the texture of tree bark – vary in the number of screw holes. They are made in Vienna from polished, recyclable stainless steel.

BARK SHELF

The BARK shelf is crafted from recycled oak wood – remnants from the earlier ante up project UNDERGROWTH. The signature connection of the oak boards is achieved using the BARK CONNECTORS, giving the piece its clear, modular design while also serving as a distinctive visual element.
