Contour collection is inspired by a design brief called ‘Walking the way’. Tom’s interpretation came via his interest in landforms and geology.
“It became apparent that people loved the idea of running their hands over a wooden ‘landscape’ and so I designed a smaller box which I call Landform Boxes. It was a natural progression then to the idea of accurately replicating real landscapes.”
Contour boxes and sculptures are made using a very specific form of map data and a machine that carves from it to extremely high accuracy. They are then created and finished by hand in English oak with a discreet silver hallmark.
