Slice of cork oak with a beach-effect resin finish
This slice of cork oak with beach-effect resin captures the image of a small cove seen from above. The blue slowly blends into the wood, while the white foam traces an irregular shoreline, like a wave that has just reached the beach.
There are landscapes that stay with us long after we’ve left the sea. The movement of the water, the light on the waves, and the tranquility of walking along the coast inspired the creation of this piece. The different shades of blue add depth to the resin and help recreate the sensation of movement, from the deepest waters to the foam breaking on the shore.
The natural shape of the cork oak was preserved as an essential part of the design. The irregular outline, the variations in color, and the small marks on the wood were neither hidden nor standardized. On the contrary, it was the ring itself that determined the path of the waves and the way the resin meets the wood.
Handcrafted in the ART137 studio, each layer of resin is applied to gradually build this landscape. The white forms a delicate line of foam against the shades of blue, creating a contrast with the warm, organic texture of the cork oak.
This piece is part of a small series inspired by the beach. Although the four discs share the same aesthetic, each one features a different shape, texture, and shoreline. No two shorelines are alike, just as no two pieces of wood have the same pattern.
More than just depicting a beach, this plate seeks to capture the feeling of standing before it: the silence between the waves, the light reflecting off the water, and that moment when everything seems to slow down. A handcrafted piece designed to bring a little of that serenity into your home.
Because it is made from a natural material and crafted individually, every variation in shade, texture, or contour is part of its identity and underscores its unique character.
Caring for Handmade Pieces
This piece is more than just a piece of furniture; it is a handmade piece, created with passion and dedication.
To ensure that it remains as beautiful as it was the day you received it, here are some helpful tips on how to care for your piece:
- Cleaning: Clean the surface of the piece regularly with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Avoid using abrasive cleaning products or harsh chemicals, as they can damage the piece or its finish.
- Avoiding moisture: Keep the piece away from humid areas and avoid spilling liquids directly onto the surface of the piece. Use coasters to prevent liquid stains.
- Sun protection: Avoid exposing the piece to direct sunlight for extended periods, as this can cause discoloration and drying of the piece. Use curtains or blinds to protect the piece from intense sunlight.
- Heat protection: Always use trivets when serving hot dishes, pots, or hot cups directly on the piece to prevent heat marks.
- Avoiding scratches: Avoid dragging heavy or rough objects across the piece.
Remember that each piece is unique, just like its story. With these simple care tips, you can enjoy your piece for many years to come.
At ART137, we pay special attention to photographs to ensure accurate representation of colors. Despite our efforts to display colors with maximum precision, it is crucial to keep in mind that the actual perception depends on your monitor settings. We cannot guarantee that the colors shown on your monitor accurately reflect the product's shade upon delivery.
Please also be aware that product photos may slightly vary from the actual piece due to the unique characteristics of wood and resin. This uniqueness makes each item one-of-a-kind and authentic. If you have any questions, we are here to assist.
It's also necessary to consider that wood is a natural product and may exhibit features such as wrinkles and other natural marks. These characteristics should not be considered defects but rather evidence of the authenticity and uniqueness of the piece. They do not warrant a complaint, as they enhance the unique and artisanal character of the product
