Eclipse
Reading, England, 2024
Chestnut veneers and bronze
70 × 43 × 60 cm
This cabinet captures the celestial drama of a solar eclipse, translated into expertly layered materials and refined craftsmanship.
The radiating pattern is formed from chestnut veneers fumed to varying degrees, creating tonal shifts that draw the eye toward a deep black centre. Achieving this depth of colour requires a meticulous process: the wood is exposed to specific gases that react with the tannins, darkening over time until the desired intensity is reached.
The cabinet doors are precisely carved to align seamlessly, and inside, a bronze back panel reflects the light subtly, evoking the glow that surrounds the eclipse’s darkest moment.
