Iberian walnut

THE 'BRUTAL' WOOD

The ancient tradition in Spain was to plant a walnut to set the limits of ground properties and families heritage. Therefore only the owner of it has the rights to decide harvest it when the property pass to other. Also are harvested to savage it when dead or fallen after the storm.

These trees grow very free in the nature growing for long time and the main characteristic are the contrast coloured lines inside them. From pale yellow to black there's a wide range of tones in the middle doing an spectacle of nature itself.

We like it because every piece of wood is very unique . Never can get a plain texture of the same tone when joining the planks to each other. And to emphasize this 'brutalism' of iberian walnut we made a hole block composed of multiple blocks from different trees to create these pieces of sculptoric furniture. Then on that 'brutal' blocks, Jordi Sarrate starts the hand sculptoric work on it inspired by natural organic shapes and by the feelings through the hands.

WALNUT & STONE CHAIRS
SOSPIRO CHAIRS SW1 & SW2

This pair of chairs are made of fantastic conglomerate stone composed of pinks, dark reds, greys and white organic shapes mineralyzed. This unique stone is coming from a closed quarry in the French Pyrennees and that means will be impossible to get stone again from that resource. This makes it very special and unique. Was worked by our partner, stone workshop Barbany Artesans in Barcelona, to obtain the shape with mechanical and traditional techniques.

The walnut wood used to create the seating, backrest and traverse was choosen from a one whole log of savaged Iberian walnut. Sculpted intuitively by hand and satin finshed gives the character of assymetric group of bubbles in love with the stone.

Signed with engraved placque of authenticity.
