Beech WOOD with FUNGI Texture, Extraclear POLISHED Transparent RESIN, burnished STEEL Legs.
Alcarol has crafted this table from a single large Beech plank, recovered from a fallen log in the Dolomite forest, naturally colonized by fungi. The organic patterns—formed through slow wood decay—are entirely unique, shaped by specific time, place, and environmental conditions.
The plank was sliced with a fine blade into two matching parts and rejoined using a seamless corner process that aligns both the fungal grain and the translucent material with sculptural precision. The resin, resembling winter ice, flows as a continuous element, with no visible joints between horizontal and vertical planes.
This technique freezes the organic transformation at its peak, preserving the live edges and fungal textures in clear stillness—transforming their impermanence into lasting presence. The result is a piece that can become a table, bench, console, or custom surface, where the silent work of nature finds a new life in form and function.
