Root Throne 2, Teak, Unique, 220cm high by 170cm wide by 115cm deep, Furniture, Nature, Contemporary sculpture

This piece is a striking teak wood sculpture, carved from a single tree root and shaped into an impressive throne-like chair. Measuring 220cm high, 170cm wide, and 115cm deep, the piece combines natural form with functional design.

The chair’s seat has been carefully smoothed and polished, creating a comfortable surface that contrasts with the rest of the raw, organic structure. Branches, knots, and root formations extend outward in unpredictable directions, giving the throne an untamed and sculptural quality. The natural twists and turns of the wood emphasize the energy of the living tree it once was. The refined seat anchors the work as both an object of use and an artwork in its own right.

The high back rises dramatically, curling and splitting into root-like extensions that frame the sitter. The arms and base remain rugged and irregular, further blurring the line between furniture and sculpture. Each angle reveals new textures, smooth grains, rough bark-like ridges, and hollowed pockets where the root once branched underground.

This contrast between worked and untouched surfaces highlights the balance between nature’s raw beauty and human craftsmanship. The throne feels monumental, almost regal, yet it maintains an earthy presence rooted in the material’s origin.

Root Throne 2 is both a seat and a statement, functional, sculptural, and deeply connected to the organic power of teak wood.
