Multi-material integration, built as one unit

Timber, stone, metal, glass, leather and rattan — joined so they move as one.
Overview

Different materials move differently — the craft is making them behave as one.

A luxury piece is rarely one material. KENT integrates timber, stone and marble, metal, glass, leather and rattan into single units — a door, a wall panel or a piece of casework that combines several materials and still reads as one object. The engineering is in the junctions: different materials expand and move at different rates, so KENT details the joints to absorb that movement and the surfaces to align, so the assembly holds together through the Gulf's temperature and humidity swings.

Timber, stone and metal as a single unit
01

Materials joined as one object

Timber, stone, metal and glass meet in a single unit. The challenge — and the craft — is the junction, detailed so the materials align cleanly and read as one.

StabilityHolds through Gulf swings
Patinated metal mesh panel
02

A material for every surface

The palette is wide — patinated metal mesh, leather-wrapped and stitched panels, antique and églomisé glass, woven rattan and cane — each integrated into timber joinery with the right detail.

FAQ

Questions specifiers ask

How do different materials stay together?+
The junctions are detailed to absorb the different rates at which materials expand and move, so the assembly holds through temperature and humidity change.
Which materials can be combined?+
Timber with stone, metal, glass, leather and rattan — selected to the design and integrated as one unit.
Are non-timber materials in-house?+
Timber integration is core; some specialist materials (leather, rattan, decorative glass) are confirmed per project.
Photographs show KENT workshop and capability samples, not named projects. Some specialist materials are confirmed in-house per project.
