The Plateada Hollow Console Table from Phillips Collection replicates burled wood through composite casting. The material captures the complex grain patterns and irregular surfaces that develop in wood burls, areas where the tree's growth creates dense, swirling figures. Acid-applied finish creates color variations across the surface, with each piece showing slightly different tonal shifts due to hand application. The console's hollow interior remains visible through natural openings, adding dimensional interest and reducing visual weight. Cast from natural wood root, the piece preserves original characteristics, including cracks, knots, and textures.
