Meditation stool 2020
Walnut Meditation stool with Buddhism inspired marquetry.
I am extremely thankful for the trust my clients have in me even though I have barely started my journey in marquetry.
This mediation stool was a special commission and I was thrilled to be able to incorporate a marquetry realisation for the top.
As with all pieces, it had to go through various rounds of design and considerations, and was settled at a height and angle comfortable for long duration meditation specific to my client.
The marquetry design is a blend of the lotus and other floral patterns; formed with colours distinct to Buddhism Art. I ended up French Polishing for that high gloss surface.
-----------------------
This year has been a rather good one; with some time (during the lockdown) to experiment, and discover new techniques and materials. To spend some time doing things out of ‘work’. Most importantly, to slow down and let myself catch up with myself.
So, I’m ending off 2020 with a showcase and work-in-progress of this piece, and looking forward to the adventures ahead in 2021.
