Crafted from a single reclaimed solid tree trunk sourced from China’s Yunnan province, this pair of tables preserves the organic and unrepeatable form of the original wood. Their silhouettes follow the natural contours of the tree, revealing the beauty of its irregularities and the strength of its material.
The surface has been treated using the traditional Yakisugi technique, a controlled charring process that enhances the wood’s texture and creates a deep, matte, tactile finish. The contrast between the trunk’s robust presence and the delicate patterns of its charred grain transforms each piece into a small functional sculpture.
More than a side table, it is a fragment of nature shaped by time, fire, and the artisan’s hand—an expression of the wabi-sabi spirit that celebrates authenticity and imperfection.
