About This Piece

Morta Mangrove Wood Slice: A Unique Work of Art, Sublimated by Kintsugi

Discover an exceptional piece, born from the meeting of the raw strength of Morta mangrove wood and the delicacy of the Japanese art of kintsugi.

Morta Mangrove Wood: A Treasure from the Depths of Time

Morta, also known as "swamp oak," is a unique fossilized wood. Extracted from the depths of European marshes and rivers, these millennia-old tree trunks have stood the test of time, preserving a raw beauty and exceptional stability. Their deep black color, the result of a long fossilization process, testifies to their history and rarity.

Kintsugi: The Art of Sublimating Imperfections

The kintsugi technique, an ancestral Japanese art, consists of repairing broken objects with pure gold. Applied to this slice of Morta mangrove wood, it reveals the "scars" of time, the natural cracks and asperities of the wood, transforming them into true works of art. Pure gold highlights these imperfections, giving them a new beauty and a strong symbolism: that of resilience, rebirth, and the invaluable value of passing time.

More Than a Decorative Object: An Invitation to Contemplation

This slice of Morta mangrove wood, sublimated by kintsugi, is much more than a simple decorative object. It is a unique piece, full of history and meaning, which invites contemplation and reflection. It reminds us of the beauty of imperfections, the strength of nature, and the preciousness of time as it passes.

Myriam's Verdict:

"This piece is a true invitation to travel, to the discovery of history and the raw beauty of nature. It reminds us that time leaves its mark on everything, but that these "scars" can be sublimated and transformed into unique works of art. It is a precious object, full of emotion, which will find its place in a refined and inspiring interior."
