FUNGI Console
A quiet freeze stills the fleeting pulse of the forest. Fungal veins, living wood, and passing time suspended in crystalline silence.

Beech WOOD with FUNGI Texture, Extraclear Polished RESIN, burnished STEEL rod.
The Fungi Wood Console is crafted from a single plank of Beech wood, sourced from a fallen tree deep within the Italian Dolomite forests. Colonised by native fungi, the wood bears extraordinary patterns and discolorations — delicate cartographies drawn by time, decay, and transformation.
The plank is sliced into two parts with a razor-thin blade, then rejoined at right angles. The continuity of the fungal woodgrain is perfectly aligned, appearing as if the board were simply bent. Through a unique process, the translucent element that fills and supports the piece is a single, seamless volume, with no visible separation between horizontal and vertical surfaces.
The console’s vertical leg — minimal and silent — acts as a metaphysical support, grounding the transience of organic matter in a moment of suspended stillness. It becomes an axis between the earthly and the intangible, lifting the decaying beauty of the wood into a new, contemplative dimension.
Encased in a crystal-clear resin evoking frozen water, the natural live edges and fungal textures are preserved at the threshold between growth and disappearance. No two pieces are ever alike; each is a singular expression of place, season, and process.
