The collection is crafted in American red oak (Quercus rubra) and American cherry (Prunus serotina). Together, they provide a striking interplay of texture, colour, and character: the bold open grain and strength of red oak contrasting with the smooth, fine texture and warm tones of cherry. 

These expressive qualities gave Hadinata the means to achieve curves and forms that feel at once structural and sculptural.  “American hardwoods bring a new dimension to my work” says Hadinata. “Their character makes them ideal for sculptural expression.”

Warm, grainy, tough and bendy. Reaching a height of 21m, with a trunk diameter of 1m, red oak is the most abundant species in America’s hardwood forests. Named for the color of its leaves in the fall, this classic oak wood has a light brown sapwood, and a heartwood characterized by attractive warm reddish-pink tones. Red oak is strong, straight grained, coarse textured and distinctive. Its porosity makes it a premium wood for bending and staining.

Rich, smooth, vibrant and flexible. A medium-size tree, reaching a height of around 20m, cherry has a relatively short rotation, taking less time to mature than other hardwoods. The narrow sapwood is a light pinkish color, while the heartwood varies from rich red to reddish brown, and darkens on exposure to light. American cherry had a long period of popularity in furniture making; it became less popular but is on the verge of a revival.
