Ancient swamp Kauri
The tree grew long before recorded history. After falling, it was sealed beneath swamp and peat for approximately 40,000 years. Recovered from the earth, its mineral colour and ancient grain can never be repeated.
Tauranga, New Zealand
Forty thousand years in the making.
Wolffmark turns rare New Zealand timber into heirloom furniture, preserving the age, grain and origin of every piece.
Ancient swamp Kauri from Northland
Redwood from Rotorua
History held in timber
Before the furniture, there is the provenance.
These are not anonymous boards. Their origin, age and character are the reason each Wolffmark piece exists.
Forest grown Redwood
Grown in the forests and volcanic soils of Rotorua, this redwood carries warmth, long grain and the scale needed for substantial furniture. Its history is younger than the Kauri, but unmistakably of this place.
The catalogue
Pieces with a place and a past.
Two singular tables are currently available. Each design protects the timber's particular record rather than designing it away.

The story remains visible.
Selection, design, construction and finishing are treated as one continuous process. Natural edges, old grain and the evidence of time are kept where they belong.
Resin, steel and joinery support the timber. They do not compete with it. The result is furniture with a clear origin and a life still ahead of it.
