Kesong Carbonized Wood
The Art of Yakisugi. Our design is a tribute to the ancient Japanese technique of Shou Sugi Ban, where cedar is charred to become weather-resistant. We were captivated by the paradox of using fire to protect wood. The inspiration comes from the deep, crocodile-skin texture formed by intense heat, representing a beauty born from resilience and transformation. It captures the history of the flame in a static, durable form, turning a destructive force into a protective shield.
Texture
The texture exhibits the rugged, scale-like surface characteristic of heavily charred timber. It is defined by a network of deep, irregular fissures and raised rectangular platelets, often referred to as the "alligator skin" effect. This high-relief topography creates a constant interplay of micro-shadows within the blackness, giving the material a raw, powerful presence that feels ancient and substantial to the touch.
