Wood Species

Wood species refers to the specific botanical classification of a tree, which determines its unique characteristics such as density, grain pattern, color, and hardness (measured by the Janka rating). These species are generally divided into two categories: hardwoods (from deciduous or broad-leaf trees) and softwoods (from coniferous or needle-bearing trees). This classification affects their suitability for various applications, including furniture, flooring, construction, and aesthetic finishes.

Beyond the Expected

Great design begins with imagination—the belief that furniture can do more than fill a room. It can define the room, inspire conversation, and tell a story.

The Beyond portfolio by ST2 is a quick ship program created for those who see possibility where others see limitations. Each piece brings together expressive forms, distinctive materials, and meticulous craftsmanship to create furniture with a presence all its own.

From sculptural silhouettes and richly figured woods to artisan-applied finishes and unexpected details, Beyond celebrates individuality. Every design is made to stand beautifully on its own while offering the flexibility to be customized for a particular space, vision, or client.

This is furniture designed not simply for today, but to remain meaningful for years to come—pieces that feel collected, personal, and unforgettable.

Beyond ordinary. Beyond expected. Beyond furniture.
