WETLAND RIVER Table

A wetland is an ecosystem shaped and saturated by water, where in rare conditions nature can preserve wood for millennia. Abonos—a Celtic name for this semi-fossilized wetland timber—comes from ancient Alpine trunks buried in river sediments, where minerals and water gradually bonded with the tannins of the wood, hardening it and colouring its grain across a spectrum that shifts from golden hues to deep black. No two pieces ever share the same shades.
Recovered through careful and complex work, this ancestral wood emerges like a treasure of the past, bearing the silent memory of flowing waters and vanished landscapes. In the Wetland River Table, a central “river” becomes the symbolic flow of time itself: it runs between the organic edges of the wood as if carrying the stories, motions, sediments and seasons that shaped it.
Just as the currents once transformed the material, the table celebrates this eternal movement—a flow that connects past and present. The natural wood surface remains exposed on the section planes, allowing you to touch its warm, ancient vibrancy, while the transparent central river reveals rather than hides, preserving the essence of what water once embraced.
The result is a table that is not only a functional object, but a river of memories crystallized in form, where nature’s time continues to flow.
