It has a cool organic shape and an orange/brown hue. The multiple layers of the wood are built up really nicely. It’s a unique piece probably inspired by the works of Wendell Castle and a real eye-catcher. The table has a central base with an organic-shaped top and a rounded front flowing into the back. Two large arms on the left and right that go up a bit and should be against the wall. On the left side, there's a volcano-shaped piece with an open hand-shaped top, showing the maker's craftsmanship. Really nice to use in a living room area with two chairs around or in a hallway as a conversation piece. You'll need to mount it on the wall using two anchors for the best stability. Truly one-of-a-kind design and therefore a one-of-a-kind opportunity! Wendell Castle was famous for his pioneering use of stack-lamination, a woodworking technique he introduced in the 1960s. It was based on a 19th-century sculptural technique used for making duck decoys. Stack-lamination allowed Castle to create large blocks of wood out a series of planks, which were then carved and moulded into the biomorphic shapes for which he is best known. See less
