About the Item
Expressive hand-carved burl wood chair, crafted in Finland in the mid-20th century. This striking piece of folk art furniture has been sculpted from large burls, showcasing the organic beauty, vivid grain, and natural irregularities of the wood.
The chair’s fluid, sculptural form and smooth, tactile surface highlight the artisan’s deep respect for the material. Its sturdy, rooted base supports a generously contoured seat, balancing primitive craftsmanship with natural elegance.
A distinctive and one-of-a-kind functional sculpture, equally at home in rustic, wabi-sabi, or modern organic interiors.
