About the Item
Wabi-Sabi Teak Root Stool or Side Table, Lombok Indonesia, 20th Century
This sculptural stool from Lombok, Indonesia, has been hand-carved from a single block of dense tropical hardwood, likely teak root. Its organic form features a broad top surface with radial splitting, naturally occurring over decades of drying and weathering, creating deep textural character and visual depth.
Traditionally, stools like this were carved by the Sasak people for everyday use as low seats or functional supports. Today, their timeless design and tactile aesthetic make them ideal as versatile pieces within interiors seeking a sense of grounded authenticity.
The stool’s raw, unpolished surface embraces the wabi-sabi philosophy – celebrating natural imperfection, transience, and the beauty of age. Its weathered patina and sculptural form make it equally suited as:
• A low occasional stool in minimalist or organic modern spaces
• A sculptural side table beside a lounge chair or bed
• A pedestal for plants, ceramics, or decorative objects, adding textural warmth and understated drama
Care and preservation:
Dust gently with a soft dry cloth. Avoid direct heat sources to minimise further natural cracking. Treat periodically with a neutral wood oil if deeper toning is desired, though the current weathered finish is stable and visually evocative.
Origin: Lombok, Indonesia
Date: Mid-20th century
Materials: Teak root or reclaimed tropical hardwood
Condition: Excellent structural integrity. Visible natural cracks, splits, and surface weathering consistent with age and traditional crafting, adding to its authenticity and sculptural appeal.
This piece embodies the quiet dignity and unpretentious beauty of wabi-sabi design, offering a timeless presence within any curated interior.
