Maha Table
About the Item
The Maha side table is a one-of-a-kind and irreplaceable piece, a true gem of collectible design that tells a millennia-old story through its extraordinary raw material. Crafted from fossilized wood from Madagascar, this piece belongs to the Fossilia collection, which celebrates ancient materials by transforming them into functional works of art.
What makes this product so special is its absolute uniqueness: each table originates from a single tree fossilized between 30 and 35 million years ago, ensuring that no two pieces will ever be the same. Its shapes and shades are the result of a natural process that has evolved over time, making replication impossible.
To honor the exceptional nature of the material, the table's irregular edges have been intentionally left intact, avoiding excessive alterations to preserve the original essence of the wood while minimizing human intervention. This approach enhances the natural beauty of the material, whose surfaces showcase colorful concentric rings, similar to those found in modern-day trees, but with precious, jewel-like tones embedded within.
Each Maha table is not only a refined and exclusive design piece but also a fragment of geological history, a bridge between past and present, where nature and craftsmanship merge to create an unrepeatable masterpiece. Its rarity is further emphasized by the exclusivity of its material: fossilized wood from Madagascar is extremely difficult to source, and its formation, shaped by millions of years of transformation, makes it a limited and invaluable resource.
A piece like Maha is not just a furnishing accessory but a living testament to the power of time and the beauty of nature, destined to enrich any space with its unique history and timeless charm.
