About Ornamentum

Each furniture piece is bench made from start to finish by an individual cabinetmaker, and is signed, dated and fitted with a solid aluminum plate bearing the Ornamentum brand ensuring its authenticity. This fabrication method allows us to precisely articulate the designer's intent in appearance, fit and finish, as our clients demand furniture that is unmatched as a collectable and individual work. The distinguishing features of the collection are the extensive use of solid lumber and excellence in design and craftsmanship creating contemporary classics that will last a lifetime. Every piece of furniture is available from sustainably harvested wood according to the standards and principles of the Forest Stewardship Council.

About Tanis Saxby

"My work often reflects tranquility and stillness in motion, a concept that is sublime and a paradox. I am drawn to introduce the concepts of stillness, simplicity and sensuality in response to our often complex, distant, time driven culture. The curiosity of form and its relationship of shape to space, and shadows to light, keeps me focused on the next creation."

-- Tanis Saxby
