The stacked, polished wood forms echo natural river stones, while the dark base grounds the composition. Stylistically linked to Isamu Noguchi and Hans Arp, it also resonates with the California wood sculpture movement of the 1960s, where knots and grain were celebrated as design elements.



Condition Key
We believe every piece tells a story — here’s how we describe the chapters they’ve lived so far:

Mint / Like New
Practically time-traveled. Looks as though it’s never been used. Crisp, clean, and flawless.

Excellent
Well-preserved with only the most minor signs of age (think a faint scratch or two, visible only if you squint). Structurally sound and show-stopping.

Very Good
Loved and cared for. Some small signs of wear — maybe light surface marks, gentle fading, or a touch of patina — but nothing that distracts from its beauty or function.

Good
Has earned its character. Noticeable wear such as scratches, discoloration, or finish loss, all consistent with age and use. Still fully functional and fabulous.

Well-Loved / As-Is
This one has stories to tell. Expect visible flaws or wear (chips, cracks, missing parts), but still worthy for display, repurposing, or as a collector’s gem. See less
