For teams · by invitation
One afternoon in the atelier of Wonder by Wood. Your team, ten pairs of hands, and one artwork that travels back to the office with you.
Up to 10 people · the atelier in Bussum · proposal within 24 hours
You step into a working artist’s atelier. The scent of walnut and oak, work in progress on the walls, tools that have made hundreds of pieces. Phones go into pockets, sleeves go up. For one afternoon, your team is part of the studio.
Nadine Smeding leads the afternoon as artistic project director. She sets the frame the way she does for her own collections: the wood, the forms, the rules of the composition. Within that frame, your team makes, sands, arranges and rearranges. What emerges carries everyone’s hand, and meets the standard of a Wonder by Wood artwork.
“An afternoon with your hands in the wood says more than a hundred slides.”
One shared work instead of ten separate souvenirs. Deciding together, handing over, letting go: the composition only succeeds as a team.
An afternoon in a private atelier says without words: you are worth this. A form of employee appreciation that people talk about for years.
Away from screens, into the material. Concentration, craft and the calm of solid wood: a reset you feel for weeks.
The work goes up on the office wall, with a certificate and the story behind it. Everyone recognises their own part in it, every day.
The work you make together is modular: individual wooden objects on a magnetic system, each one contributed by a team member. Solid wood brings calm and warmth into a workspace; it softens sound and catches the light differently every hour. Art with presence, where people otherwise stare at white walls.
And it keeps growing. A new colleague, a work anniversary, a milestone reached: Nadine makes a new object, the wall shifts, the story continues. Over the years the work becomes the timeline of your organisation.
A conversation with Nadine about your team, the occasion and the space at the office. She then determines wood, forms and frame, so the result belongs in your interior and in her oeuvre.
One afternoon in the atelier in Bussum, with up to 10 people. Working with your hands under artistic direction, with good coffee, something festive to close, and time that flies.
Nadine finishes the work in the atelier. It arrives at the office ready to hang, with a numbered certificate and the story of the day, told to whoever walks in.
