multi-faceted design of the collection was inspired by orthoquartzite rocks used in spiritual beliefs / rituals by the ancient Slavs and found in the Holy Cross mountains, the oldest mountains in Europe. Bera handmade collection from solid cherry wood and fir wood recycled using a combustion technique of traditional Japanese wood to create the charred wood, or shou sugi ban wood. Each piece can be combined to form a single modular creation (eg a cabinet) or be used alone as a table, seat, or the singular storage unit
