Bridging tradition and contemporary craft, this striking footstool is made from yellow pine, enhanced using the ancient Japanese sugi ban (shou sugi ban) technique—charring the wood to reveal dramatic grain patterns and deepen its resilience as well as give it a texture similar to driftwood. The seat’s rich, dark finish contrasts beautifully with the warm, natural tones of its hand-carved hickory legs, offering a balance of rustic texture and refined craftsmanship. Each element speaks to a dialogue between nature, fire, and handwork—crafted with intention.
