The Athrú Treo means change in direction in Irish. It is made from Fijian Mahogany with Wenge handles and finished with Danish and Kunos oil. Athrú Treo has a tapered top and a set of drawers bringing you in two different directions. The front leg brings your eye in three different directions, forwards, sideways and backwards. The different directions represent a directional change in my woodwork design. The tapered top is launch me into the future with my design whilst the backward pointing aspect of the triangle is a reminder that I should not go backwards.
