The Root Square Coffee Table is an extraordinary piece of furniture that captures the raw beauty of nature’s foundation. The tangled, intricate roots of a tree, typically buried beneath layers of earth, reflect a delicate balance between chaos and harmony, embodying growth, sustenance, depth, and renewal. These roots, with their natural twists and turns, are uncovered and transformed through a painstaking process that reveals their aesthetic potential.
Creating a Root Square Coffee Table requires immense patience and skill. Artisans begin by carefully extracting the root, painstakingly clearing away dirt and debris—a task that can take months to perfect. Each root undergoes a meticulous cleaning, followed by kiln-drying to ensure stability. The roots are then pressure-washed, redried, treated, and shaped, with intricate detailing carved using a Dremel tool. The final steps include nourishing the wood with oils and polishing to enhance its natural beauty.
The result is a one-of-a-kind coffee table that feels like it’s been etched out of the earth itself—a masterpiece that honors both the chaos and resilience of nature. It transforms any space with its organic, grounding presence, inviting a connection to the nurturing depths of the natural world
