Elbe Console Table

The artwork is made from one of the oldest and rarest woods: 3,370-year-old subfossil oak. Found on the former riverside of the Elbe River near Prague. The wood was extracted from a depth of 8 meters underwater with the help of divers and heavy machinery. It is characterized by its unique texture, dark colors, and high hardness, which give it a natural shine.

Subfossil oak is non-petrified wood that has been hidden for hundreds to thousands of years in glacial sediments. Subfossil oak is also known as black oak due to its change in color, which results from long-term storage in various sediments and the reactions of the sediment's iron components with the tannins in the oak. The intensity of the color is primarily determined by the length of time the wood has been buried and the nature of the deposits. In this state, the wood is well protected against decomposition by microorganisms, especially fungi and bacteria. Earth coverage and the effects of water cause the excretion of substances and the sedimentation of calcite on the surface of the wood.

The artwork is on display in Paris at Boon_Room Gallery.

This atelier runs on a different kind of economy—one where your purchases fund the next piece, not shareholder dividends. Every scratch on the workbench comes from your trust; every new collection exists because someone chose to invest in slow, fragile making.

Share how your piece lives with you—the dents, the rearrangements, the unexpected pairings. Tag @jakub_kubica248 or send us an email.
