Crystalline minerals are known for their sharp-angled faces and precise geometric growth, where atoms align in ordered, repeating structures. The Crystal Peatwood tables draw inspiration from this natural formation process—solid prisms expanding in multiple directions and heights—bridging the organic irregularity of wood with the pure geometry of crystal growth.
The wood itself is ancient peat-preserved oak, darkened over centuries beneath oxygen-poor wetland soils. Minerals and tannins slowly reacted underground, hardening and colouring the wood in deep, rare shades, while keeping its story intact.
A crystal-clear infill completes the prisms, flowing between the live edges and preserving the narrative of the material without hiding it—as if time were suspended inside a transparent mineral.
Below, burnished steel bases evoke the art of fine jewelry, like precious stones carefully set to hold and elevate their value. The result is a sculptural trio that unites geology, memory and craftsmanship, revealing the hidden geometries of nature in contemporary form.
