There are turned forms that carry the quality of something ceremonial , where the waist, the flare, the generous disc top combine to produce a silhouette that is simultaneously functional and entirely sculptural, like a chess piece scaled to the domestic interior or a chalice turned from the warmest available timber. The Chalice accent table in Mango wood carries that quality entirely. A wide flat disc top rests above a dramatically waisted column that flares to a generous, stable base , the whole piece turned from warm mango wood whose deep, rich grain moves through the form with the natural character of timber that has been chosen well and turned with considerable care. At forty centimeters, it is precisely the right height for beside a reading chair. Place it where the room values the ceremonial warmth of wood at its most honestly, most beautifully turned.
