Building Blocks
Play, Create, Build, deconstruct, rebuild
Hand‑crafted from solid pine, these square and rectangular blocks invite endless play. Each block is a tactile, honest expression of material, echoing Bauhaus ideals of truth to materials and minimalism. The open pine case houses the pieces like a studio, encouraging users to stack, balance, deconstruct, and rebuild without preset rules. Removing instructions turns the set into a catalyst for discovery, letting imagination dictate structure and outcome.
Every arrangement reflects the builder’s thoughts, mood, and creativity, making each session an experiment in spatial reasoning and self‑expression. The blocks celebrate the joy of making, learning, and playing through interaction with wood.
-
Each block is a hand‑cut, hand‑sanded piece of solid pine, left in its natural state with no paint or varnish.
The clean, geometric forms—perfect squares and proportional rectangles—showcase the wood’s warm grain and subtle variations, giving every piece a unique, tactile character.
They are housed in an open pine case that mirrors the same minimalist aesthetic: slatted walls and a shallow frame that keep the blocks visible while hinting at the possibility of transformation.
The untouched surface invites the owner to add colour, texture, or pattern, turning the set into a collaborative canvas.
-
Because the blocks are raw, dimensionally precise wooden primitives, they stack, balance, and interlock reliably using only gravity and friction.
Their uniform weight and smooth, sanded faces provide predictable stability, allowing structures to hold or collapse as the builder intends. The open case serves both as a portable container and a display platform, protecting the pieces from dust while keeping them readily accessible. The absence of finishes means the wood can be painted, stained, or left natural, giving users full control over the material’s final appearance and encouraging hands‑on experimentation.

“My furniture design originates from my art practice, where materiality shapes creation, process, and outcome. I respect the square‑grain profile of wood, balancing vertical and horizontal lines with formal geometric forms that yield a classic, minimal silhouette. Weight‑bearing, flush‑set cut‑ins preserve simplicity while adding strength. Each piece is functionally designed to meet everyday needs, enriching the spaces it inhabits and fitting seamlessly into your life.
As both designer and maker, I sculpt each item by hand—sturdy, weight‑bearing, yet minimal and practical. The subtle irregularities of hand‑making are intentional signatures that set my work apart from mass‑produced furniture. I give every piece the same love and precision as my sculpted paper artworks, treating each as a functional sculpture that blurs the line between art and furniture.”
— Rosie Miller, Furniture Artist & Maker

Tactile blocks, creative freedom
The collection embraces clean geometry and material honesty, translating those ideals into a set of pure pine blocks that invite unrestricted play. Each hand‑cut, sanded cube or rectangle rests on a simple, stable base, letting the tactile wood speak for itself while encouraging users to stack, balance, paint, or re‑imagine the forms without instruction.
Explore the rest of the range to see how every thoughtfully crafted element can seamlessly elevate and enrich any living, working, or creative space with an understated, exploratory presence.
