Marino Piotti, also known as Dean Marino, born in 1982, is an Italian sculptor/designer from Valtrompia. Since he was a young boy, he has had a visceral relationship with the elements of his land.

His mission is the regeneration of matter.
The nodes and natural scars are expressions of the Wabi-sabi philosophy that envelops the sculpture.

Morishi is a cedar coffee table crafted using the yakisugi technique, an ancient Japanese method that uses heat to burn the wood, creating a fire-resistant surface that reveals the beautiful grain. This technique has been used in Japan for centuries and remains popular today.
The minimalist design and the Wabi-sabi philosophy it embodies make Morishi a perfect addition to any modern environment.
It is an excellent choice for those looking for a coffee table with a unique design that fits perfectly into any environment. It is a great addition to any home, whether it is a modern space or a more traditional one.
Finished with natural oils and waxes.
Technique used
Yakisugi (焼杉) is a traditional Japanese method of wood preservation.
Yaki means to heat with fire, and sugi is cedar. In the West, it is referred to as burnt wood cladding, also known as shou sugi ban (焼杉板), which uses the same kanji characters but with a mispronunciation.
The character 'ban' means 'table'.
By slightly carbonizing the surface of the wood without burning the entire piece, the wood becomes waterproof through carbonization and is therefore more durable.
It also protects against insects, in addition to making the wood fireproof.
Philosophy
Wabi-sabi (侘寂) constitutes a Japanese worldview or aesthetic based on accepting the transience and imperfection of things. This perspective, sometimes described as 'imperfect, impermanent, and incomplete beauty,' derives from the Buddhist doctrine of anitya (impermanence).
