Root Throne by Anon Unknown, Hardwood, Unique, 155cm high, 224cm wide, 94cm deep, Furniture , Tree sculpture

Root Throne is a unique hardwood furniture sculpture measuring 155 cm high, 224 cm wide, and 94 cm deep. This striking piece transforms the natural root system of a felled Indonesian tree into a functional and sculptural garden throne.

The design features a high back and a seat seamlessly carved into the natural root form. Its twisting curves, knots, and hollow sections preserve the organic beauty of the original tree. Every angle reveals new lines and textures, as light filters through the natural gaps within the wood. These irregular, flowing shapes give the throne both a commanding and earthy presence.

Crafted from dense hardwood rich in natural oils, the Root Throne is remarkably durable and weather-resistant. Its resilience makes it ideal for outdoor display, where it continues to age gracefully. However, regular treatment, once or twice a year, helps maintain its finish and sheen.

Each root used for these thrones is carefully excavated, dried, sanded, and polished by hand before being turned upright and sculpted. This intricate process ensures every throne is entirely unique, shaped by both nature and craftsmanship.

Blending raw organic form with human artistry, Root Throne stands as both furniture and sculpture. It embodies a deep respect for natural materials while inviting comfort and contemplation within a living piece of art.
