Drum Swamp Kauri Coffee Table
Description
Modern organic drum coffee table made from a single block of ancient reclaimed New Zealand swamp kauri wood. The wood has been carbon dated at over 40,000 years old.
This sustainable timber, naturally felled by nature, is preserved for thousands of years under peat sediment layers before they are extracted and continue their journey to become a cherished piece of art.
We celebrate the natural wabi-sabi effect of the ancient timber. Prehistoric kauri trees were buried under a peat swamp by an unexplained act of nature at the end of the last Ice Age, the trees have survived the centuries underground, sealed in an airtight environment that has preserved the timber in perfect condition.
The wood is finished with a hand rubbed, low V.O.C., natural plant oils to bring the stunning grain to life.
As this coffee table is made from ancient kauri, it is intended for indoor use only.
Handmade in Christchurch, New Zealand.
