Vaal Leadwood Turned Side Table
The Vaal Leadwood Turned Side Table is hand-turned, chiseled, and carved from solid leadwood, showcasing the material’s exceptional density and natural character. Its bold cylindrical form is balanced by finely worked vertical texture, creating a tactile contrast between smooth and chiseled surfaces.
Finished in Yaki Sugi, the traditional charred wood technique deepens the tone and enhances the organic texture of the leadwood, revealing subtle grain movement and natural cracking inherent to the material. Sculptural yet functional, the Vaal serves as a refined side table or grounding accent within layered, design-forward interiors.

The occurrence of cracks in natural wood due to climate changes is a natural and inherent aspect of their character. Wood, being a living material, responds to variations in humidity and temperature by expanding and contracting. These natural movements can result in cracks over time, contributing to the unique and individual character of each stool. Rather than being perceived as a flaw, these cracks should be embraced as a testament to the organic nature of wood, adding a touch of authenticity and charm to the furniture piece.
