The chest is crafted from premium exotic burl wood, most likely Thuya burl wood. It displays intense chatoyancy, "cat eye effect", varying from fiery amber to deep auburn tones, highlighted by a rich, satin finish. The piece blends Mid-Century Organic Modernism with the stepped, geometric cutout design of the footed base adding a subtle Art Deco or Asian-inspired architectural silhouette to the otherwise naturalistic finish.
