Sculptural Bar Chair

This sculptural chair is a singular expression of raw craftsmanship, carved by hand from a solid hardwood log and blackened using the ancient Japanese shou sugi ban technique. Its dramatic, root-like base rises into a contoured seat and subtle backrest, blending chaos and intention, utility and abstraction. It appears almost unearthed rather than built.

The surface is deeply charred, revealing rich crackling and the original grain of the wood. Tool marks, textures, and branching forms remain visible, preserving the character of the material and celebrating the unpredictability of organic shape.

No templates or machinery were used in its making, only chainsaws, hand tools, and fire. The carbonized finish enhances both the visual depth and the durability of the piece, creating a protective layer that is as functional as it is striking.

This chair sits comfortably in sculptural interiors, brutalist or wabi-sabi settings, gallery environments, or architectural spaces that value form as much as function.

Sealed with natural oils and waxes to maintain the integrity of its charred finish. Designed and crafted in Europe by Logniture, a studio known for its elemental approach to furniture-making.
