WETLAND Stool/Side Table

Abonos—a Celtic name for the rare “fossil” wetland wood—comes from ancient trunks discovered in a few alluvial areas of the Alps, where minerals and water initiated a slow semi-fossilization process beneath the riverbeds. Over centuries, this submerged wood developed a unique chromatic spectrum, shifting from golden tones to deep black, shaped by the silent flow of time and the substances carried by the water. No two pieces share the same shades.
Resurfacing after millennia, this material emerges like a jewel of the past, recovered through delicate and complex craftsmanship. In this Wetland Stool, alcarol surrounds its organic shapes with transparent resin that recalls the water which preserved it, freezing an instant in time. The piece becomes a submerged fragment revealed, a suspended memory where the past is crystallized and made tangible.
The resin enhances every grain, while the untouched wood surfaces retain their natural warmth—allowing you to perceive both the vulnerability of nature and the endurance of time. As a stool or side table, this object is not only functional, but also a poetic reminder of what flows, what survives, and what resurfaces.
