They created a minimalistic furniture line from wood scraps

The Offcuts is a limited series of unique furniture pieces from Kastella, built in collaboration with Raphael Dinh. By using hardwood ends from production of their other furniture collections, Kastella has repurposed waste products into one-of-a-kind stools and other wood furniture.

Kastella is a Montreal-based manufacturer and distributor of premium hardwood furniture and architectural millwork. As such, they have a large amount of extra wood to work with after producing their furniture lines. The new Offcuts Collection uses the same high-quality hardwood in limited series of five to 10 units to create several types of small furniture pieces that are created with traditional woodworking techniques.

“Our Offcuts are born from the same beautiful boards we use in our furniture production,” said Kastella founder Jason Burhop. “Just as robust, resistant and unique. We generate a significant quantity, and it has long been our mission to use these pieces in a meaningful way.”

The collection includes three pieces: La Souche, Le Tabouret a lattes and Le Marchepied a lattes.

La Souche, designed to look like a tree trunk, is a modern take on a traditional woodworking technique with cutting board-style glue-ups and a faceted version. The cylindrical form has a round base intended to give it a sense of lightness. It’s a stool, but can also be used as an end table.

Le Marchepied a lattes is a step stool made with slatted layers that function as steps or a low seat. The piece is made of solid wood offcuts, and can be purchased in American Black Walnut and White Oak. And Le Tabouret a lattes is a practical slatted surface that works as a table or stool. It is also available in both American Black Walnut and White Oak.

The Offcuts Collection has an oil finish and was designed for residential use. The pieces are available at Boutique Kastella on Boulevard St. Laurent in Montreal. The collection ranges in price from $595 to $1,095 Canadian.
