What is the timeline?
A one-of-a-kind kinetic sculpture disguised as a library-grade book. Hand-milled from reclaimed industrial hardwoods, it houses an internal audio engine and stealth magnetic triggers that activate sound and light upon opening.
We salvage select, reclaimed hardwoods. This wood is cured and stabilized until it behaves perfectly under precision cutting tools, retaining its heavy, tactile history.
Because each piece is engineered individually, commissions require two to four weeks from initial drafting to final calibration. We limit production to insure the highest heirloom quality.
