Corazón Side Table in Solid Oak
by Mike Hausmann · Barcelona, Spain

The CORAZÓN Side Table explores the contrast between refined craftsmanship and the raw expression of natural wood. A clean oak tabletop rests on a sculptural solid oak heartwood base, creating a dialogue between precision and organic imperfection.

The refined oak top provides a calm, functional surface with a restrained architectural character, while the heartwood pedestal reveals the natural cracks, knots, splits, and irregularities created by the drying and aging of the timber. Rather than concealing these characteristics, CORAZÓN makes them the defining feature of the piece.

Each fracture and darkened vein becomes a unique record of time, tension, and material transformation. The raw heartwood base has a primitive, almost geological quality, giving the side table the appearance of an object discovered rather than conventionally manufactured.

The generous overhang of the tabletop creates visual lightness above the dense sculptural base, establishing a considered balance between stability and fragility, refined geometry and organic form. With minimal ornamentation, the design relies on proportion, texture, and the natural character of the oak.

Combining solid oak construction, sculptural design, natural wood imperfections, and handcrafted furniture, the CORAZÓN Side Table is both a functional piece and a study of oak in its most authentic state. A distinctive collectible design object where cracks, knots, and irregularities become an essential part of its beauty and identity.
