Size: 175 x 47 x 43 cm
Weight:
Material: oak, ash, poplar
It is a unique object.
Product description
The object is the result of experiments with traditional techniques of working with a full log and was made using the chisel technique, which was once used, for example, to make log hives.This functional sculpture was created by reversing the design process. The work began with the material – in this case, a poplar log that was already partly hollow inside – rather than with a utilitarian need.
Technique
The sculpture is made from hollowed-out logs of solid poplar wood. The incorporation of oak shelves within the hollow circles serves a dual purpose, both enhancing the structure's integrity and providing a functional element for storage. The sculpture's exterior has been finished with a distinctive texture that evokes the appearance of animal hair, a unique detail that sets this piece apart as a one-of-a-kind work.How to use
The interior is to be cleansed using a slightly damp, lint-free cloth, while the exterior should be cleansed with a soft, natural-bristle brush.- Tags: anna bera, fossil, statement furniture, szafka
