Solid WOOD, Natural MOSSES, Extraclear Polished RESIN, FELT hidden at the bottom.
Surfacing Trunk Stool is crafted from discarded sections of dead trees, sourced from the wetlands of the Italian Dolomites. Its natural bark surface, still bearing mosses and tiny native plants, is preserved in a transparent resin that recalls the still water of its habitat.
By filling the irregular cavities with resin, alcarol doesn’t only restore structure, it freezes a moment in time, just before nature’s cycle would reclaim the material. What was once overlooked becomes a quiet presence, holding the memory of a forest floor immersed in silence and slow decay.
This is not just a stool, but a fragment of territory surfacing from below, suspended between end and rebirth.
