Root Arm Chair, Teak, Unique, 142cm high, 105 wide, 100cm deep, Furniture sculpture

Root Arm Chair rises with a bold, sculptural presence, transforming a single teak root into a functional work of art. The artist approaches the natural form with sensitivity, guiding the root’s organic twists into an armchair that feels both grounded and expressive. As the structure unfolds, broad branching forms sweep outward to create armrests, while thicker root sections curve upward to shape a protective, enveloping back. To enhance comfort and highlight craftsmanship, the artist sands and varnishes the seated area. This careful refinement introduces a smooth, warm surface that immediately contrasts with the surrounding raw texture. The polished section glows with rich golden tones, revealing the complex grain patterns that run through the teak. Moreover, the shine draws the eye inward, offering a welcoming centre that invites someone to sit and experience the piece physically. Beyond this refined core, the artist deliberately preserves the root’s untouched character.

Knotted protrusions, rugged bark like textures, and natural fissures flow around the chair, allowing the tree’s original story to remain visible. As viewers move around the sculpture, they notice how the raw surfaces frame the polished seat, creating an engaging dialogue between nature’s irregular beauty and the artist’s intentional interventions. Standing 142 centimetres high and expanding to 105 by 100 centimetres, the chair commands space while still feeling organic and fluid. It behaves as both a functional chair and an expressive sculpture, offering visual drama from every angle.

Ultimately, Root Arm Chair celebrates the harmony between craftsmanship and wild natural form. By refining only what is necessary and leaving the rest untouched, the artist allows nature and design to coexist gracefully within a single, captivating piece.
