The organic form of this burlwood side table would have appealed to the refined tastes of Ming and Qing dynasty literati, who favored natural formations with sinuous contours and wild, untamed beauty. The low table is a cross-section of a beautifully gnarled tree trunk, chosen for the incredible web of burls that envelops the exterior. The rippling texture of knots and burls enlivens the wood with turbulent movement, minimally worked to preserve its wabi-sabi spirit and impart a smooth finish.
