This bespoke hand carved art object by Gábor Góbi is crafted from a repurposed dinning chair and remnants of white marble. This sculptural piece has been enhanced by fire-burning the wood using the Yakisugi technique and is elegantly finished with natural oil and beeswax.
The side table belongs to the Melting Collection, a series that seeks to spotlight the urgent narrative of our planet’s accelerated climate change. The prevailing impact of human activities has made phenomena such as melting ice caps and tundras a part of our daily existence. The fusion of wood and marble in this design serves as a poignant reminder and a call to collective action in defense of our environment.
Every component of this side table is imbued with history. The materials, sourced from scrapyards, abandoned pieces on city streets, and residues from demolished structures, have been given a new lease on life. The act of breathing new purpose into these repurposed materials is both a profound challenge and a source of joy. It stands as a testament to the myriad possibilities that arise when we envision a future that doesn’t further deplete nature’s reserves.
Although the piece resembles a chair, this is a table and is not intended for sitting.
