Abonos OAK Wood, Extraclear Polished RESIN, Burnished STEEL Base.
A wetland is a water-saturated ecosystem where, in rare natural conditions, wood can be preserved for millennia. Abonos—a Celtic name for this semi-fossilized wetland timber—comes from ancient trunks buried in alpine alluvial areas. Protected beneath layers of sand and gravel, the trees underwent a slow transformation: minerals, iron and tannins bonded over time, hardening the wood and colouring its grain through a unique chromatic spectrum, from golden nuances to deep black.
Once brought back to the surface, this wood emerges like a jewel of the past, recovered and crafted through delicate and meticulous processes. In the Wetland Streams Table, alcarol surrounds its organic forms with transparent resin, recalling the water that shaped it through the ages. Here, two clear rivers flow through the surface, a poetic echo of the streams that once carried the trunks along their ancient journey.
The resin preserves and reveals every detail of the wood, while the exposed section planes remain free to the touch, allowing you to feel the warm, vibrant essence of a material that has travelled across eras. The result is a piece where time continues to flow, and nature’s memory becomes part of everyday life.
