In a small workshop in Belgium, Mario Vanwynsberghe and his wife Veerle Knockaert are doing something special with wood.

The artisans at Moss Studio turn each piece to a delicate thickness, often just a few millimeters, creating lightweight, elegant objects. As the wood dries over several weeks, each piece naturally undergoes its own subtle transformation, enhancing its one-of-a-kind character. The studio employs traditional finishing techniques such as smoking, blackening, burning, bleaching, and coloring with natural dyes. They avoid chemicals and synthetic substances, using only natural oils and waxes. The beeswax they use comes from a local beekeeper and is purified in their workshop.

Moss Studio crafts each piece meticulously in their small woodturning workshop. The studio releases a limited collection of unique pieces annually, all turned from freshly cut, solid logs on their lathe.
