About the Item

A coffee table from the late 20th century, hand carved out of one complete azalea root. This striking coffee table, hand-carved from a single azalea root, immediately captures our attention with its dynamic design and rich, reddish-brown lacquered finish. Showcasing the inherent beauty of the azalea root, this piece embraces the natural, organic form, with its base swirling and intertwining in a mesmerizing dance of texture and shape. The lacquer enhances the wood grain, adding depth and brightness to the overall composition while accentuating the intricate details of the root’s structure. A true testament to the traditional art of root carving, this coffee table is both a functional piece of furniture and a conversation-starting work of art. Its unique form makes it an ideal centerpiece for a living room, where it can anchor a seating area with its organic charm and sophisticated flair. Alternatively, it could be placed in a covered patio or sunroom, where it will seamlessly blend with nature, bringing a touch of rustic elegance to the space. Perfect when paired with its accompanying set, including the armchairs (item LU863922135122) and sofa (LU863922135062), this hand-carved azalea root coffee table embodies the harmonious fusion of art and nature, enhancing any decor with its striking presence and undeniable craftsmanship.
