Sculpture, Racine de Thuya - 36 cm - Thuya

Abstract sculpture entirely handmade by an artisan, carved from a raw block of thuya root. A unique piece, never reproduced. Fluid curves, airy openings, and organic volumes: it changes its appearance from every angle, playing with light and voids like a true gallery piece.

Exceptional wood: thuja loupe

The natural décor of the loupe is striking: mottling, small knots, and swirls with deep amber, honey, copper, and mahogany nuances. These patterns are neither painted nor drawn: they are the natural marks of the wood, revealed as they appeared. Each piece is unique.

The thuja loupe is a true rarity. It develops slowly in the stump and roots of old trees, often centuries old, and it takes decades, even centuries, for it to reach a size sufficient to be worked. Only a tiny portion of trees produces it: a material that is limited and increasingly difficult to find.

Another asset: the natural thuja emits a warm, pleasant fragrance, an authentic scent that lasts over time.

Each sculpture is crafted entirely by hand by an artisan, who follows the natural shapes of the root to reveal the full beauty of the loupe. No industrial process, no series: only one piece exists, and it is this one.
