Using the natural aesthetic of wood to showcase the art of furniture.

SINCE 2024

Our company showcases the art of furniture through exquisite pieces created by a father-and-son team. We combine elegant design with modern craft. Hand crafted from drawing to the finished piece. Using locally sourced wood as much as possible. We would like to thank all the local businesses that have shown support.

While Adrift is a new venture, we are already creating allies throughout Victoria. We work independently and alongside local businesses to erase supply issues from the mainland. We can make same-day deliveries once a piece is finished.

Adrift creates personal and mutually-beneficial relationships with clients and business owners and is able to reduce costs as Adrift is just down the road.

Adrift Father and Son Team

Jake Tchida
Owner, Design & Creator
Adrift represents the untethered flow of one’s life. We all experience being adrift. The balance to this state is finding direction and taking action. 

“The idea of Adrift Wood Co. was born in a tent in the middle of nowhere in Northern BC, while laying on my back trying to ignore the sting of blisters and ache of fatigue. Planting trees and brushing blocks is the perfect place to dream about anything else you would rather be doing. The time spent in between those gruelling seasons of work is a perfect representation of letting your life drift. 

Working with my hands has always been natural. Creativity has come from within since I was a child. Adrift is a combination of these two things. With an immense amount of help and guidance from my father in addition to the desire to create, Adrift has finally come together.”
Tim Tchida
Design & Marketing
At 22 years old, I started planting trees. 36 years later my company had planted nearly 750 million trees. That number equates to a straight line of trees, planted three feet apart that would go around the planet 42 times. I have been blessed to work in the woods and put back in an industry that has given all of us so much.

Adrift Wood Company is honouring what wood gives us through the art of furniture. My education was not in business or wood working, I did a double major philosophy and religious studies. What I have taken from tree planting, business, school and just getting older is that we are all connected and we are all looking for meaning, we need to be creative and we need to contribute.

As Maximus said, what we do in this life echoes in eternity. Working with my son Jake is a blessing. We get to be creative, work with wood, give back and create pieces of art that hold the memory of our work. We are all adrift finding meaning. So I hope you too find joy and meaning in these pieces and thank you for connecting with us.

We are going to be capturing as much of the process of creating a wood shop and the things we learn with each piece we build.
