Murmuration - Charcoal

The pattern is inspired by starling murmuration’s, a mesmerising aerial display performed by large flocks, numbering in the thousands, moving in unison, creating captivating patterns in the sky as they twist, turn, and merge into one another.


Multiple marquetry layers of dyed veneers are pierced using CNC technology to create a pattern that mimics the movement seen in murmuration’s.

The pattern is applied to TV cabinet and combined with a soft suede leather and polished metal inlay. As one walks around the cabinet the shadows cast in the marks will change and give the impression of movement.
