The Heart and Soul

Hello there! I'm Ray, a designer and artisan with over a decade of experience working with wood. My passion lies in crafting unique, freestanding coat racks—functional art pieces that make a bold statement in any space.

My workshop is nestled in Northern Europe, where I breathe new life into reclaimed wood sourced from barns, rivers, and forgotten places. Each timber has a history, its own journey marked by time, weather, and nature’s touch. I find beauty in these imperfections, letting the wood’s character shape every creation. No two pieces are ever alike—unlike mass-produced items, my coat racks are one-of-a-kind, made to stand as sculptures as much as they serve a purpose.

While wood has been my primary medium for over ten years, I am continually expanding my craft, learning metal forging and working with clay under the guidance of master artisans. I am driven by a love for discovery—combining different art forms in ways that haven’t been seen before, always pushing the boundaries of creativity.

I invite you to explore my collection and find a piece that speaks to you. I also welcome collaborations, whether you’re an interior designer, architect, or someone with a vision for a custom project. Let’s create something extraordinary together.
