Ebonised Red Gum, Burr Elm from the 1987 UK Great Storm, Maple Plywood, aged brass
Size
800mm x 450mm x 1700mm
Description
Made as an edition of two cabinets, which were crafted from Elm salvaged from the UK’s 1987 Great Storm. The power of the story inspired Anton to pay tribute to the life of the fallen tree and the completed cabinets are emblematic of his commitment to merging nature’s raw beauty with contemporary design principles. This contour of the natural edge contrasts vividly against the deliberately simple black background of Ebonised Red Gum. One cabinet features 12 drawers and the other has two doors.
“By reassembling the timber’s natural edges, I’ve managed to evoke the original form of its trunk and branches. The organic contours and flowing grain tell the story of resilience and renewal, transforming the chaos of nature into a poetic celebration of life.”
