Its raw, arched silhouette blends structure with spontaneity—bridging brutalism and natural form. Rugged yet graceful, it seems more discovered than crafted. Its surface is deeply blackened, revealing cracks, textures, and tool marks that honor the wood’s original spirit. The curved underside lifts the form from the floor, adding visual lightness to its otherwise grounded presence. No templates or machines were used—just hand tools, fire, and intuition. The carbonized finish not only creates a striking visual but also strengthens and protects the wood, making it durable and weather-resistant. This piece sits comfortably in modern organic, wabi-sabi, rustic, and sculptural interiors—and is equally at home in galleries, architectural spaces, or serene covered outdoor settings. Sealed with natural oils and waxes to preserve the richness of its charred finish. Designed and made in Europe by Logniture, a studio renowned for turning raw timber into expressive, heirloom-grade pieces. Materials: Solid hardwood(oak), charred using shou sugi ban technique Surface: Textured with visible tool marks and natural character Labeled by Maker See less
