The Cairn collection by Alvaro Uribe for Wooda challenges the perception of furniture being purely functional. We believe furniture brings a sense of spirituality and magic to our lives. Taking inspiration from ancient cairns, each design is composed of rock-like pieces carved in wood, that are in constant equilibrium to create a functional piece. When not in use, it is easy to lose oneself in admiration for this magical illusion that inspires harmony. Our hope is that in an increasingly fast pace of life, this collection makes us stop and inspires us to find balance and wonder in those elements that make up our life.About the designer: Alvaro Uribe is an American born, Colombian raised and New York-based designer.
