Rainbow Teakwood Stone, individually pierced with a geometric jali lattice through all visible walls. The interlocking pattern draws from the tradition of architectural stone screens found throughout Mughal architecture. Functions as a side table, accent table, drink table, end table, sculptural table, or architectural furniture object. The form integrates naturally into Art Deco, Hollywood Regency, and Contemporary interiors.
The piece begins as a solid block of stone from which the interior volume is hollowed before carving begins. Artisans transfer the geometric jali pattern onto the exterior surfaces and then hand-cut hundreds of interlocking openings through the stone walls. Each opening must be positioned carefully to maintain structural integrity while preserving the continuity of the overall pattern. The carving process requires sustained precision because every cut influences the strength and visual balance of the final form.
Measuring 12"×12"×16"H, the piece functions as a side table, accent table, drink table, end table, architectural object, decorative pedestal, or sculptural furniture element.
