Creek Console is crafted from a rare, centuries-old European Larch tree discovered under a snowslide in the Dolomites. Native to the Alpine high altitudes, this tree endured decades of winter storms and repeated avalanches — its body twisted, scarred, and reshaped by the relentless weight of snow.
The trunk bears nodules, knots, and bulging scars where branches once broke and new ones emerged. It’s a portrait of resistance, a lifetime of healing made visible in wood grain, density, and form.
alcarol has encapsulated this fearless essence in a resin that resembles ice, freezing in time the memory of a tree shaped by hardship, yet standing tall until the end.
