Kauri Coffee Table in Solid Ancient Kauri Wood

About the Item

Modern Kauri dining table made from solid Ancient Swamp Kauri wood. A live edge Kauri dining table made from New Zealand 50,000-year-old Ancient Swamp Kauri. Hand-crafted in Auckland, New Zealand from a single piece of Ancient Swamp Kauri. The design is inspired by the landscape of our planet. Ancient Kauri or Swamp Kauri refers to prehistoric Kauri forests, buried and preserved in peat swamp up to 50,000 years ago in New Zealand’s North Island by an unexplained act of nature at the end of the last Ice Age. The kauri trees have survived the centuries underground, sealed in a chemically balanced environment that has preserved the Kauri timber in perfect condition. The Kauri trees grew for nearly 2000 years before they were buried. Some have a girth of around 40 feet, and a total height of nearly 200 feet. Ancient Kauri wood is the oldest workable wood available in the world. Ancient Kauri wood is extremely attractive and beautiful. The grain and tones of the Kauri wood has an extraordinary shimmering iridescence. The glow of Ancient Kauri adds to its beauty and illustrates that Ancient Kauri is a special, gorgeous timber. Each piece is distinctive with the structure and grain creating an unparalleled piece of beautiful furniture. Inspired by Mother Earth, each furniture piece retains the natural shape, grain and character of the original kauri tree when it was buried in last Ice Age. ICEWOOD’s tables are well-preserved in resin “ice”, and recreate the landscapes of our planet Earth. The Kauri wood is the land. The active grains are snow-capped mountains. The dark grains are lush rainforests. The natural gums are the rivers flowing across the land with golden beaches. And the effortless craftsmanship is how we respect and treasure our land just as ICEWOOD preserves this gem-like table.
