Dimensions: height 85 cm, width 33 cm, depth 15 cm.

The tree trunk has a warm honey-brown colour, a naturally open top and three organic openings along the side. These openings follow the knots and branch formations of the wood, giving the object a lively, sculptural presence.

The black calligraphy has been applied by hand, adding a strong graphic element to the natural surface. Together with the visible grain, small cracks and irregularities, it creates a striking wabi-sabi object with depth and character.

Beautiful as a base for a sober ikebana arrangement with branches, dried flowers or seasonal material, but equally strong as a purely decorative object. The hollow form, irregular edge and warm sheen of the wood make this a unique interior piece with calm, texture and presence.

In beautiful vintage condition, with natural cracks, openings, colour variations and irregularities inherent to the wood. Sturdy, usable and highly decorative. See less
