The proportions of a dining chair remain; the rest has been remade. Yakisugi charring deepens the surface to near-black, deliberate hand-carving marks it with controlled irregularity, and a thin cork layer on the seat arrives at comfort through material means rather than conventional padding.

The process draws on material chosen for what it has already become — reclaimed mid-century wood, residual limestone, cork. Yakisugi treatment deepens the surface before natural oils and beeswax are applied. Hand-carving follows the wood's grain and its imperfections throughout.

The finished surface is a record of these interventions: scorched, carved, sealed — a texture that reads as both intentional and time-worn. Light settles differently into the surface depending on the angle and the hour.

Suited to a dining setting, as an accent chair, or as a sculptural seat within a considered interior. Cork seat. One of a kind; wood grain varies between pieces. See less
