GRAIN is a collaboration between Newcastle based furniture designer and maker Michael Armstrong and artist/designer Anya Kovalieva.
At GRAIN we focus on producing bespoke interior objects with commitment to natural materials and traditional methods of woodwork. We take pride in hand crafting our products to the highest standard, oftentimes sacrificing modern production technologies in favour of slower and more personal processes. This drives our philosophy towards sustainable, timeless and humble designs and practices. For exa
mple we only use FSC certified hard woods for our products. Aesthetically we are looking for balance between modern, industrial feel and elegant, refined lines, unfettered by trends and fashions, producing designs to last and be loved for decades. After exciting months of hard work and lots of love our first product is finally ready to launch! We are introducing our debut collection with a range of hand crafted trays. Influenced by traditional Japanese woodwork and bearing a stamp of modernist aesthetic, these trays are a product of precision and skill. Made out of solid wood, each tray is unique and incorporates abstract surface textures and clean angled sides that make it appear floating weightlessly. Our woods of choice are European oak, British ash, American walnut and a rather exotic addition – African iroko. The textured patterns on the surface of each tray are designed to harmonize with its dimensions and the natural pattern of the timber and never repeat. The feet can be used to hang the trays for display or space saving. The trays come in 3 sizes and are priced from £35
