The Solar Rays Coffee Table

A table that transforms a living area into a serene sanctuary. The Solar Rays coffee table is a handcarved from the wood of a cherry tree and designed through a contemplative relationship between the artist and medium.

I crafted this table over the course of an entire year. This one of a kind table honors the unique grain of cherry wood, capturing the essence of sunlight within its spiraling design. Some summer days I brought the tabletop to a nearby park to work on the carving, contemplating photosynthesis.

Inspired by the philosophy of "wu wei"—effortless action—the top was carved without machines or measurements, using only a pencil and carving knives. Going with the Tao. If you value unique, handcrafted furniture that adds subtle sophistication to your living space, the Solar Rays coffee table is the perfect addition. It's not just a timeless piece of furniture, it's a work of art that invites tranquility and appreciation for nature's transient-yet-eternal beauty.

I wrote a newsletter about the process of carving the tabletop. You can read it here.
