CRACKED EARTH BENCH
The bench was inspired by the striking clay pan floor of Deadvlei, Namibia. Its marquetry is composed of oak oysters, the end grain of an oak tree, where the growth rings reveal the tree’s history, with a polished bronze inlay flowing between the cracks of the clay pan-inspired surface.
A padded seat in burgundy vegetable-tanned coach-hide leather completes the piece.
Burgundy vegetable-tanned coach-hide leather, English end-grain oak oysters and laminated saw cut oak veneer with solid oak.
