The Confluence is a one-of-one coaster set handcrafted from reclaimed oak, reclaimed maple, reclaimed sapele, and layers of recycled skateboard veneer. Four distinct materials meet across each surface, forming an interlocking composition of warm hardwood grain, layered colour, and shifting orientation. The two coasters share the same material palette but arrange it differently, allowing each piece to remain individual while belonging unmistakably to the pair.
Named for the meeting of separate elements into a single form, The Confluence explores the relationship between material, direction, and contrast. Rather than using the skateboard veneer as a simple accent, the layered colour becomes part of the structure itself, intersecting with the reclaimed hardwoods to create a more complex composition.
Designed as functional objects for everyday use, each coaster is individually constructed and finished by hand. Together, they form a matched composition that can be rearranged, separated, and viewed from different orientations while retaining a shared visual language.
Variations in grain, colour, markings, and veneer layers are inherent to the reclaimed materials and are part of the character and history of each piece.
