Jowink, Handmade Charred Bench or Side Table
Charred Bench or Side Table – Tension, Texture, and Gravity
A composition of asymmetry and force. This sculptural bench/side table balances a jagged charred slab of solid wood on a single angular steel leg, creating a visual interplay of weight and precision. The surface ripples with the chainsaw-carved history of the tree, now blackened by flame and punctuated by its natural fissures.
An embodiment of contrast—organic versus industrial, heavy versus suspended—this piece commands attention as both functional furniture and sculptural form. Suitable as a dramatic entry bench or meditative focal point in architectural interiors.
