Studio
Designed and manufactured on the Dolphin Coast.
Wacher.co is a design-led hardwood studio, run by its founder, Bruce Wacher. Every object starts as a sketch and a model, becomes a toolpath, and is cut from solid hardwood on Victoria, the workshop's CNC router. Then it is finished by hand.
The machine gives exactness. The hand gives judgement.
Method
From sketch to object.
Design
Each piece starts as a sketch, then a model in CAD. The form, the joints and the way it comes apart are worked out before any wood is cut.
Cut
Victoria cuts every part from solid hardwood, to the drawing, so the parts fit and any one of them can be cut again.
Finish
Edges, surfaces and oil are finished by hand, one piece at a time, before anything leaves the workshop.
Look underneath
The method, in plain sight.
Turn a First Light table over and you can see how it is made: the parts, the bolts that hold them, and the Wacher.co mark.
