Originally used as part of a traditional sugar cane pressing mechanism, the solid timber construction and hand-carved gear detailing reflect the ingenuity and craftsmanship of its original purpose.

The cylindrical form is defined by a ring of individually carved wooden teeth, while the naturally aged surface reveals rich variations in tone, pronounced grain, cracks, and marks accumulated over decades of use. Rather than concealing these imperfections, the piece celebrates them as evidence of its history.

Now functioning as a side table, pedestal, or occasional stand, it brings an organic, primitive quality to modern spaces. Its substantial proportions and distinctive silhouette make it equally suited to a refined living room, entryway, bedroom, or hospitality setting.

A one-of-a-kind vintage object that combines Indonesian agricultural heritage with modern organic design. See less
