Simple forms, beautifully rendered. The result is a unique style that combines Asian and mid-century design aesthetics, traditional craftsmanship, and contemporary sensibilities. Our Products Each of Gingko’s pieces are a product of top grade timber handcrafted by old world techniques. The result is a unique quality that increases in beauty over time. The entire collection is built with solid wood kiln-dried for stability. Pieces are constructed using mortise and tenon joints for increased stability and their ability to accommodate wood’s natural movement in different environments. Every piece is an original. Individual workmanship and the organic quality of the wood itself may cause slight variation among items. Due to the hand-made nature of our items, dimensions are quoted it the nearest half-inch. Slight variations should be expected. The overwhelming majority of our pieces are built with Walnut. We have chosen Walnut due to it’s stability in different environments which is important to avoid movement and cracking as humidity levels change. The Walnut we use is sustainably harvested and kiln and air-dried over many months. This allows the wood to reach a stable state. Walnut is a slow-growth, dense wood that is known for the beauty of its strength and beauty. Founded in 2002, Gingko has stores in San Francisco and Mountain View, CA.
