Title : FEELING PETRIFIED
FEELING PETRIFIED
It's true, I don't like a crowded elevator or the sight of snakes, but I've never been truly petrified...until this weekend. No it wasn't the taxi that narrowly missed me on Saturday that had me petrified, but the striking sleek and modern table that I came across this weekend at Distant Origins. The slim steel legs of the table held an exquisite piece of what looked like quartz, but I was told that it was in fact petrified wood. The wood is formed as the result of a tree having turned completely into stone. All the organic materials in the wood are replaced with minerals like quartz, while the piece retains the original structure of the wood. The result is a one-of-a-kind piece with rich tones and beautiful organic shapes. Most of the pieces I came across are coffee and side tables which incorporate the wood in its natural form or as a mosaic of small rectangles pieced together. The wood looks best paired with sleek metal legs that play off their gorgeous patina. I'm smitten and a little petrified. How about you?
