The piece retains the natural, irregular edge of the timber, commonly referred to as “live edge”, emphasizing the organic beauty of the material. Both the top and legs celebrate the sculptural forms inherent in the wood, offering a design that is at once functional and artistic.

Its tactile quality and organic lines make each piece unique, with subtle variations in color, grain, and edge forming part of its enduring charm.
