About the Item

This sculptural camphor wood root chair is a striking example of natural artistry and craftsmanship. Hand-carved from a single tree root, the form follows the organic lines of the wood itself, creating a deeply textured and expressive silhouette. Rich in movement, the chair’s sinuous arms and flared back evoke the wild beauty of nature while offering a surprisingly comfortable seat. The polished finish enhances the golden warmth of the camphor wood and reveals an expressive grain that adds visual depth and character. The surface gleams under the light, while the knotted and twisting forms retain their raw, rustic energy. More than a functional piece of seating, this chair doubles as a sculptural presence—ideal for interiors that blend natural elements with statement design. Perfect for a living room, den, or entryway, this root chair can also work beautifully in a covered garden room or as an artful accent under a pergola. Whether used as a seat or admired for its unique shape, it brings a grounding, organic element to any setting.

Lacquered Root Sculpture Stand with Tiered Display Surfaces and Warm Patina
Located in Yonkers, NY
A sculptural root formation with a rich lacquered finish, this organic stand captivates with its flowing form and warm amber tones. Carved from a single root mass, it showcases a complex structure with three tiered plateaus, each emerging naturally from the sinuous curves of the wood. The surface has been polished to reveal deep grain variations, swirling textures, and subtle color shifts that lend the piece both movement and depth. Originally drilled to function as a fountain—though fittings are not included—it also stands on its own as a striking sculptural object. Whether displayed as a decorative accent or repurposed creatively, the stand blurs the line between art and nature. Its fluid, asymmetric profile draws the eye from every angle, offering a sense of raw vitality and visual intrigue. Perfect as a centerpiece in a living room, entryway, or tranquil garden room, this root stand...
