Marino Piotti, artist name Dean Marino, born in 1982, is an Italian sculptor/designer from Valtrompia. From a young age he has lived with a close, observable relationship with the elements of his country. He creates sculptures with natural elements such as wood and iron, giving them a new life while continually maintaining a strong connection to their origin. His goal is to create an indispensable bond between humans and nature. His mission is the regeneration of matter.
Knots and natural scars are emanations of the Wabi-sabi philosophy that surrounds the sculpture

Morishi is a cedar table, worked with the Yakisugi technique, an ancient Japanese method that burns wood with heat, creating a fire-resistant surface that reveals the beautiful grain patterns. The technique was used for centuries in Japan and is still popular today.
The minimalist design and the Wabi-sabi philosophy in which it is permeated make Morishi a perfect complement to any modern environment. An excellent choice for those seeking a unique design with a seamlessly integrable aesthetic in any setting. A wonderful addition to any home, whether in a modern space or a more traditional one.
Finishing with oils and natural wax.
Technique:
Yakisugi (焼杉) is a traditional Japanese method for wood preservation. Yaki means heating with fire and sugi is cedar. In the West it is referred to as charred wood cladding and also known as shou sugi ban (焼杉板) which uses the same kanji characters but has a mispronounced reading. The character ban means "table".
By lightly carbonizing the surface of the wood without burning the whole piece, the wood becomes waterproof through carbonization and is therefore harder. It also protects against insects and makes the wood flame-retardant.
Philosophy:
Wabi-sabi (侘寂) forms a world view of Japanese aesthetics, based on accepting the transience and imperfection of things. Such a perspective, sometimes described as "beautiful imperfection, transience, and incompleteness", is derived from the Buddhist teaching of anitya (impermanence).
