About the Item

This remarkable piece originates from the island of Java, where it once served as a traditional granary mortar known as a lesung. Expertly hand-carved from a single block of solid teak, it bears the beautiful marks of age and use, with a rich patina and striking wood grain patterns that tell its story. Reimagined for modern interiors, this old lesung has been transformed into a sculptural side table or pedestal. Its minimalist cube form and central carved hollow create a bold yet natural focal point — blending heritage craftsmanship with contemporary design.
