The frame is constructed with thick, rounded posts rising above each tier, giving the piece a totemic, vertical rhythm. Along the sides and back, carved arched cutouts create a repeating lattice that recalls ancient colonnades—simple, rhythmic, and deeply tactile.

The wood is richly aged, with a warm, darkened patina shaped by years of handling. Surfaces reveal softened edges, tool marks, and variations in tone that shift between deep umber and muted chestnut. Each shelf is wide and substantial, offering not just function but a grounding sense of material weight.
