A wetland is an ecosystem shaped and saturated by water, where in rare conditions nature can preserve wood for thousands of years. Abonos—a Celtic name for this extraordinary wetland timber—originates from ancient trees buried in Alpine alluvial areas, where minerals and water initiated a slow semi-fossilization beneath layers of sediment. Over centuries, currents bonded iron and minerals with the tannins of the wood, hardening its structure and colouring its grain through a spectrum that shifts from gold to deep black—tones and patterns that never repeat.
Once recovered through patient, meticulous work, this ancestral material resurfaces like a jewel of the past, bearing the memory of flowing waters and vanished landscapes. The Wetland Low Table embraces its organic shapes, preserving their essence and revealing every mark of their journey.
Below, a steel column rises like a solemn pillar, lifting this fragment of nature as if it were a timeless shard of landscape preserved in suspension. The contrast is intentional: the elemental weight of history above, the pure clarity of structure below—matter and time held in balance.
What emerges is a piece that is both object and memory: the endurance of wood shaped by water, elevated and revealed for the present.
